Trust In God Poem by John Bowring

Father! whose benignant ear
Ever to the prayers attending
Of the humble worshipper,
Whether from Thy house ascending
Or from nature's solitude;
Every voice devoutly blending,
We address Thee, wise and good!
At Thy holy altar bending.


Thou, our fathers' God and ours!
Teach us all to love and fear Thee;
Lead us through life's varied hours
Fixed on heaven and ever near Thee.
When our little task is done,
May our children still revere Thee;
So Thy work shall hasten on
Till assembled worlds shall hear Thee.
