Say Not, My Soul
Author: J. J. Lynch
1. Say not, my soul, ‘From whence
Can God relieve my care?’
Remember that Omnipotence
Hath servants everywhere
2. His help is always sure,
His methods seldom guessed;
Delay will make our pleasure pure;
Surprise will give it zest.
3. His wisdom is sublime,
His heart profoundly kind;
God never is before His time,
And never is behind.
4. Hast thou assumed a load
Which none will bear with thee?
And art thou bearing it for God,
And shall He fail to see?
5. Be comforted at heart,
Thou art not left alone;
Now thou the Lord’s companion art
Soon thou shalt share His throne.
