It is good that the mortal props fall away from me, one by one. Each is but a veil that hides thee from me.
I am willing to be taken up.
I am willing to be forsaken of all that is merely mortal, that I may be taken up.
“Thou art he who can do no evil.”
Open thou mine eyes to behold thy glories.
Though all that has seemed necessary forsake me, I know that thou art with me always.
I can never fail because thou art at my right hand.
I am free from all fear, for I feel thy presence.
My confidence is perfect, I stand unshaken, though all around me seems tottering to a fall.
My business cannot fail, my home-life cannot break, my loved ones cannot scatter and be lost to me; for I gather them all together to be taken up as I am taken up by thee.
Thou wilt save to the uttermost all who trust in thee, and my trust is perfect, my confidence is secure.
