LyicsIt is the Lord,--enthroned in light,
Whose claims are all divine,
Who has an undisputed right
To govern me and mine.
It is the Lord--who gives me all,
My wealth, my friends, my ease
And of his bounties may recall
Whatever part he please.
It is the Lord--my covenant God,--
Thrice blessed be his name,--
Whose gracious promise, sealed with blood,
Must ever be the same.
Can I, with hopes so firmly built,
Be faithless, or repine?
No: gracious God! take what thou wilt:
To thee I all resign.
