He ever will with patience chide,
His rod falls gently down,
And all thy sins He casts aside
And in the sea doth drown.
6
When silent woe thy bosom rends,
His pity sees thy grief,
Supplies what to His glory tends
And to thine own relief.
7
He knows how oft a Christian weeps
And why his tears now fall;
And in the His mercy keeps
These things are noted all.
8
His wisdom never plans in vain,
Ne’er falters or mistakes;
All that His counsels did ordain
A happy ending makes.
9
Upon thy lips, then, lay thy hand
And trust His guiding love;
Then like a rock thy peace shall stand
Here and in heav’n above.
