Shut the Door and Believe

"When thou hast shut thy door,
Shut out from thee it's anxious care
With all it's sharp temptation sore,
For He is there.

When thou hast shut thy door,
Shut out from it's pain and grief,
Bereavements - pressure to the core;
He gives relief.

When thou hast shut thy door,
And left all there behind that wall
Of God's own care, forevermore-
He takes it all.

When thou hast shut thy door,
Shut out thyself - He only in,
Nothing for thee but to adore -
He works within.

- L. S. P.
