HIS TENDER CARE
As helpless leaf before the gale,
My hopeless, human heart so frail!
Oh, what the power that shall avail
  In darkest day,
Whene'er the storms of grief assail,
  To light the way?

The sparrow falleth to the ground,
The Father's love beyond all bound
Its fate doth note—in Him is found
  All needed strength;
His tender care shall thee surround,
  Thy journey's length.
