SOLILOQUY OF TRUST

God of earth and sky and sea,

Canst Thou not care for me?

Naked came I to this life;

Naked do I face its strife.

Possessing naught but what Thou givest;

Living only as Thou livest,

God of earth and sky and sea,

Surely Thou dost care for me.

God of earth and sky and sea,

Canst Thou not strengthen me?

Born of Thee to serve Thy ends;

On Thee for breath my soul depends.

Surf and alp and blooming bower;

Magnify Thy boundless power.

God of earth and sky and sea,

Surely Thou art strengthening me.

God of earth and sky and sea,

Canst Thou not perfect me?

Struggling, striving with my sin;

Helpless self to cleanse within.

When once the earth in darkness lay;

Thy Spirit breathed the perfect day.

God of earth and sky and sea,

Surely Thou wilt perfect me.
