God is able

-

"God is able!" Words of comfort,

Though the days be dark with dread;

God is able to deliver

Though deep darkness round us spread.

"God is able!" Words of uplift

When all hope hath from us gone,

Granting, not the feared disaster,

But undreamt-of bliss alone.

"God is able!" Words suggestive!

What can God the Lord not do?

May our crisis not afford Him,

Chance to shew us wonders new?

"God is able!" Word unchanging!

Ne'er can dawn so dark a day,

But this word, with all its fullness,

Can our minds and spirits stay.
