Within
When all the world is His,
His kingdom and demesne,
There is no place outreached,
Or forgotten by His will.
All is compassed round,
Engulfed in love as wide,
As skies are wide, or Norh
Is far from the end of southern climes.
In this we calmly take our rest,
We are safe and we are blessed,Our lives have always been in His,
Children of the greatest good.
