“Not my will, but Thine be done.” Luke xxii. 42.  

Thy will can never be  

Aught but the best for me  

My nearest, dearest Friend  

Loves me too well to send  

An evil thing know  

That may calmly go  

Forth on the unknown way,  

And dread no coming day.  

It is not hard for me  

To put my trust in Thee.  

—Mary McLeod.
