¶Liedtext

1. If thou but suffer God to guide thee And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that nought can move. 2. What can these anxious cares avail thee? These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help if thou bewail thee? O'er each dark moment as it flies. Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3. Only be still and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate’er thy Father’ pleasure And alldeserving love hath sent, Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him Who chose us for His own.
