Lyics

Since all the varying scenes of time

God's watchful eye surveys,

O, who so wise to choose our lot,

Or to appoint our ways!



Good when he gives, -- supremely good, --

Not less when he denies;

E'en crosses, from his sov'reign hand,

Are blessings in disguise.



Why should we doubt a Father's love

So constant and so kind?

To his unerring, gracious will

Be every wish resign'd.
