I do not ask that He must prove
His Word is true to me,

On His unchanging Word I’ll stand
And Trust, till I can understand.

I went came to the throne with a trembling heart; the day was done.
“Have you a new day for me, dear Master? I’ve spoiled this one.”
He took my day, all soiled and blotted, and gave me a new one all unspotted.
And into my tired heart he cried, “Do better now, my child.”
