O God by all thy works made known,
Thy children’s prayer fulfil;
help us thy sovereign rights to own,
And to obey thy will.
In all the comforts of our lives,
May we thy goodness see;
Nor let the joys thy goodness gives,
Estrange our hearts from thee.
Teach us in trial and distress,
To bear our needful load;
And grow in grace and holiness,
Beneath thy chastening rod.
Whate’er the joys with which we part,
Whate’er the ills we prove,
Grant us a meek and lowly heart,
A heart to trust and love.
Preserve us that we never stray,
But live in godly fear;
And give us grace to watch and pray,
With strength to persevere.
So may we yield our parting breath,
Free from all dread and care;
And pass with joy through pain and death,
Our Saviour’s bliss to share.
