To God I look, on him I wait,
For every needful good;
When sick, ‘tis he restores to health,
When hungry, gives me food.
With tender heart and pitying eyes,
He marks my griefs and cares;
His ears are open to my cries,
Propitious to my prayers.
Mercy with suppliant voice I ask,
His mercy he displays;
Allays the tumult of my soul,
And tunes my lips for praise.
‘Tis he confirms my feeble knees,
In weakness makes me strong;
His heaviest strokes are not in wrath,
Nor his withdrawments long.
My choicest comforts, dearest friends,
I to his goodness owe;
He is the everlasting spring
From whence my blessings flow.
In every danger and distress,
I on his grace rely;
And with my hope thus firmly fixed,
Resolve to live and die.
