LyicsALL as God wills! who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more all of my needs
Than all my pray'rs have told.
Enough that blessings undeserv'd
Have mark'd my erring track;
That, wheresoe'er my feet have swerv'd,
His chast'ning turn'd me back;
That more and more a Providence
Of love is understood,
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good;
That death seems but a cover'd way
Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Father's sight.
