MY GOOD RIGHT HAND (By Charles Mackay)

I FELL into grief, and began to complain

I looked for a friend, but I sought him in vain

Companions were shy, and acquaintance were cold

They gave me good counsel, but dreaded their gold

"Let them go," I exclaimed : " I've a friend at my side

To lift me, and aid me, whatever betide

To trust to the world is to build on the sand

I'll trust but in Heaven and my good Right Hand
