God ever cares! Not only in life's summer
When skies are bright and days are long and glad,
He cares as much when life is draped in winter,
And heart doth feel bereft, and lone, and sad.
God ever cares! His heart is ever tender!
His love doth never fail nor show decay.
The loves of earth, though strong and deep, may prish;
But His shall never, never pass away.
God ever cares! And thus when life is lonely,
When blessings one time prised are growing dim,
The heart may find a sweet and sunny shelter -
A refuge and a resting place in Him.
God ever cares! And time can never change Him.
His nature is to care and love, and bless.
And dearest, darkest, emptiest days afford Him
But means to make more sweet His own caress.
- J. Danson Smith
