- Trust in the LORD with all thine heart and lean not into ?? direct thy path / Tell me ye knowing and discerning few / Where I may find a Friend both firm / and true Who dares stand by me when in deep Distress And then his Love and / See how the Lillies flourish white and fair See how the Ravens fed from Hea / ven are. Then ne?er distrust thy God for Cloth and Bread, Whilst Lillies flourish / Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drain it if a man / would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be con / temned. Mine is an unchanging love. Higher that the heights above. Deeper / than the depths beneath. Free and faithful. Strong as death / Mary Storey Her WORK in her 10th Year 1785 //
