OBEDIENCE.

George MacDonald

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.
