He Sees What I Can Not See

"Chance has not brought this ill to me;
It's God's own hand, so let it be,
For He sees what I can not see.

There is purpose for each pain,
And He one day will make it plain
That earthly loss is heavenly gain.

Like as a piece of tapestry
Viewed from the back appears to be
Only threads tangled hopelessly;

But in the front a picture fair
Rewards the worker for his care,
Proving his skill and patience rare.

You are the Workman, I the frame.
Lord for the glory of Your Name,
Perfect Your image on the same."

--Artur Christopher Bacon
