In quietness and confidence
My strength shall ever be!
No weariness shall overcome
The soul that’s stayed on Thee.
Though trials sore and hardships come
My strength He shall renew;
His presence shall envelop me-
No ill shall e’er pass through.
My case into His hands I’ve given,
He knoweth all my need;
And He who notes the sparrow’s fall
Shall still provide and lead.
Though sudden sorrow pierce my heart,
Though storm-clouds rise and thunders roll,
In quietness and confidence
Shall be my strength of soul.
Though friends may fall, the world be dark,
I know for me He cares,
And as a Father pitieth
In all my grief He shares.
And so, whatever may betide,
Or whether weal or woe,
In quietness and confidence
Shall be the strength I know.

Thank you for this poem as reminds that – “in quietness and peace shall be your confidence”. It’s truth resonates with this soul who has walked the road of trusting God in the face of life. :}

What a beautiful poem! This reminds me of Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Lovely poem, Mrs. C.
