"My times are in Thy hand."-PSALM xxxi. 15.

FATHER, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me,

And the changes that are sure to come,

I do not fear to see;

Intent on pleasing Thee.

I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,

To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And to wipe the weeping eyes;
And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.

That hurries to and fro,
