How - Not Why
Not why - dear God -
Please, let me not ask why
This bitter cup.
Nor spend myself
In futile questioning;
Let me look up -
Help me to face what is
And what must be,
Knowing thou seest what
I may not see.
Not why - but how -
Lord, help me find the way
That this, my grief,
In some divine
And mystic manner may
help my belief -
May mellow, strengthen,
Fortify my soul,
That I may better reach
Thine unseen goal.
Dear God - the clouds hang
Heavy in my sky -
Oh, give me grace to question
How - not why.
