With its problems large and small,
I’ll trust the God of miracles,
Give to Him my all.

I do not know how many days
Of life are mine to spend;
But One who knows and cares for me
Will keep me to the end:

I do not know the course ahead,
What joys and griefs are there;
But One is near who fully knows,
I’ll trust His loving care:
