Thou sovereign Ruler of the spheres,
Prostrate I lie beneath thy feet;
And there, without an anxious thought,
Submissively thy pleasure wait.
Firm and unmoved thy counsels stand,
Thy power can crush, thine arm sustain;
Sovereign and wise thy will appoints,
My days of pleasure and of pain.
Tho’ clouds and darkness veil thy seat,
Yet mercy sits enthroned above;
In health and sickness, life and death,
The same thy care, the same thy love.
Holy and righteous are thy ways,
Thy faithfulness I still would trust;
Whate’er I fear, whate’er I fell,
My soul is silent in the dust.
