LyicsHe sendeth sun, he sendeth shower;
Alike they're needful for the flower;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment:
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father, thy will, not mine, be done!
Can loving children e'er reprove
With murmurs whom they trust and love!
Creator, I would ever be,
A trusting, loving child to thee:
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father, thy will, not mine, be done!
Oh ne'er will I at life repine!
Enough that thou hast made it mine;
When fall the shadow cold of death,
I yet will sing, with parting breath--
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father, thy will, not mine, be done!
