Obedience

by George MacDonald

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/george-macdonald_poetry

Trust him in the common light; Trust him in the awesome night;
Trust him when the earth doth quake: Trust him when thy heart doth ache;
Trust him when thy brain doth reel And thy friend turns on his heel;
Trust him when the way is rough, Cry not yet, “It is enough!”
But obey with true endeavour, Else the salt hath lost his savour.
