It is thy hand, my God;
My sorrows come from thee;
I bow beneath thy chastening rod,
’Tis love that bruises me.
I would not murmur, Lord;
Before thee I am dumb:
Lest I should breathe one murmuring word
To thee for help I come.
My God thy name is love;
A Father’s hand is thine:
With tearful eyes I look above,
And cry “ Thy will be mine!”
I know thy will is right,
Though it may seem severe;
Thy path is still unsullied light,
Though dark it oft appear.
Jesus for me hath died;
Thy Son thou didst not spare;
His piercéd hands, his bleeding side,
Thy love for me declare.
Here my poor heart can rest;
My God, it cleaves to thee;
Thy will is love, thine end is best;
All work for good to me.
