Fear and Faith
Poet: Harry Emerson Fosdick

Fear imprisons, faith liberates;
fear paralyzes, faith empowers;
fear disheartens, faith encourages;
fear sickens, faith heals;
fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable—
And, most of all,
Fear puts hopelessness ath the heart o life,
While faith rejoices in its God.
