God sendeth all;
Kind His blessings fall;
In love and tenderness,
He chastens but to bless.
Send what Thou will,
Be it good or ill;
Keep me from every snare,
On Thee I’ll cast my care.
Take what Thou will,
Save from every ill;
Though it may grievous be,
My heart shall trust in Thee.
Give what I need,
Chasten, that I may heed,
From every idol flee,
And worship only Thee.
