God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear.
– Psalms 46:1, 2
Clad in the panoply of Love, human hatred cannot reach you.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 571
Everlasting arms of Love
Are beneath, around, above;
God it is who bears us on,
His the arm we lean upon.
He our ever-present guide
Faithful is, whate’er betide;
Gladly then we journey on,
With His arm to lean upon.
From earth’s fears and vain alarms
Safe in His encircling arms,
He will keep us all the way,
God, our refuge, strength and stay.
