If Providence, to try my heart,
Afflictions should prepare,
To God submissive may I bend,
And keep me from despair.
Whate’er he orders must by just;
Then let me kiss the rod,
Nor, poorly sunk, at all distrust
The goodness of my God.
The mind to which I owe my own,
To guide this mind is wise;
And he, to whom my faults are known
The fittest to chastise.
Then, till life’s latest sands are run
O teach me, Power Divine,
Still to reply, thy will be done,
Whate’er becomes of mine.
