Since all the varying scenes of time
God's watchful eye surveys,
O, who so wise to choose our lot,
Or to appoint our ways!
Good when he give,—supremely good,—
Nor less when he denies;
E'en crosses, from his sovereign hand,
Are blessings in disguise.
Why should we doubt a Father's love,
So constant and so kind?
To his unerring, gracious will
Be every wish resigned.
In thy fair book of life divine,
my God inscribe my name;
There let it fill some humble place
Beneath my Lord the Lamb!
---Alternative verses---
Good when he give,—supremely good,—
Nor less when he denies;
Afflictions from his sovereign hand,
Are blessings in disguise.
