LyicsTEACH us, in time of deep distress,
To own thy hand, O God,
And in submissive silence learn
The lessons of thy rod.
In ev'ry changing scene of life,
Whatever that scene may be,
Give us a meek and humble mind,
A mind at peace with thee.
Do thou direct our steps aright;
Help us thy name to fear;
And give us grace to watch and pray,
And strength to persevere.
Then may we close our eyes in death,
Without a fear or cure;
For death is life, and labor rest,
If thou art with us there.
