We look ahead through each changing year With mixed emotions of hope and fear — Hope for the peace we long have sought, Fear that our hopes will come to naught. Unwilling to trust in the Father’s will, We count on our logic and shallow skill, And in our arrogance and pride, We are no longer satisfied To place our confidence and love With childlike faith in God above. And tiny hands and tousled heads That kneel in prayer by little beds Are closer to the dear Lord’s heart And of his kingdom more a part Than we who search and never find The answers to our questioning minds — For faith in things we cannot see Requires a child’s simplicity. Oh, Heavenly Father, grant again A simple, childlike faith to men, Forgetting color, race, and creed And seeing only the heart’s deep need. For faith alone can save man’s soul And lead him to a higher goal, For there’s but one unfailing course — We win by faith and not by force.
