If thou art lonely, hurt or sore,
If thou canst bear thy trials no more,
When thou art in a situation untried before,
Dear Kenneth, believe.

When storm clouds hide the sun from sight,
And around thee is one perpetual night,
And thou long'st for some familiar light,
Dear Kenneth, believe.

If e'er life seems hard to understand,
If thou feelst not thy loving Father's hand,
And when 'tis hard to see thy journey's end,
Dear Kenneth, believe.

Believe that Lord has thy highest good in mind,
Believe that He's still loving, near and kind,
Believe that daily strength, love and grace He'll send,
Amen.
