self with a generous trust to thy low

call His own sheep out into any path
without Himself going before them to
make the way easy and safe. Take
each little step as He makes it plain

sweet suggestions Of His spirit in thy
soul. And day by day thou wilt find
him bringing thee more and more into

thou art able to bear it, into a vessel
