He Maketh No Mistake

My Father's way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache.
But in my soul, I'm glad I know,
He maketh no mistake.

My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But still I'll trust my Lord to lead,
For He doth know the way.

Tho' night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break,
I'll pin my faith, my all, in Him,
He maketh no mistake.

There's so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight's far too dim,
But come what may, I'll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.

For by and by the mist will lift,
And plain it all He'll make.
Through all the way, tho' dark to me,
He made not one mistake.

-A.M. Overton

An Entire Change of Heart

Singing, praying, God adoring,
Fills the newborn person's mind;
From the world to God returning
Strength and power he will find.
And in all his operation,
Showing that regeneration,
Surely maketh all things new,
And gives grace God's will to do.

Thus there will be manifested
An entire change of heart,
Which as will be seen and noticed,
Holiness of life impart.
Heart and mind and self renewing
All the evil thoughts subduing,
Faith and love will be the theme,
And God's Spirit rule supreme.
