God will not change! The restless years may bring Sunlight and shade—the glories of the Spring, The silent gloom of sunless Winter hours; Joy mixed with grief—sharp thorns with fragrant flowers. Earth's lights may shine a while and then grow dim. But God is true! There is no change in Him. Rest in the Lord today and all thy days Let His unerring hand direct thy ways Through the uncertainty, and hope and fear, That meet thee on the threshold of the year; And find while all life's changing scenes pass by Thy refuge in the love that can not die. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CITIES OF THE PLAIN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON WE SAT DOWN AND WEPT by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE HAPPIEST HEART by JOHN VANCE CHENEY TO WORDSWORTH by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE EVE OF ST.
