Poem Words (five verses)
1.
All depends on our possessing
God's free grace and constant blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart.
They who trust with faith unshaken
By their God are not forsaken
And will keep a dauntless heart.
God's free grace and constant blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart.
They who trust with faith unshaken
By their God are not forsaken
And will keep a dauntless heart.
2.
God, who hitherto has fed me
And to many joys has led me,
Is and ever shall be mine.
He who did so gently school me,
He who daily guides and rules me,
Will remain my help divine.
And to many joys has led me,
Is and ever shall be mine.
He who did so gently school me,
He who daily guides and rules me,
Will remain my help divine.
3.
When with sorrow I am stricken,
Hope my heart anew will quicken,
All my longing shall be stilled.
To his loving-kindness tender
Soul and body I surrender,
For on God alone I build.
Hope my heart anew will quicken,
All my longing shall be stilled.
To his loving-kindness tender
Soul and body I surrender,
For on God alone I build.
4.
Well he knows what best to grant me;
All the longing hopes that haunt me,
Joy and sorrow, have their day.
I shall doubt his wisdom never;
As God wills, so be it ever;
To him I commit my way.
All the longing hopes that haunt me,
Joy and sorrow, have their day.
I shall doubt his wisdom never;
As God wills, so be it ever;
To him I commit my way.
5.
If on earth my days he lengthen,
God my weary soul will strengthen;
All my trust in him I place.
Earthly wealth is not abiding;
Like a stream away it's gliding;
Safe I anchor in his grace.
God my weary soul will strengthen;
All my trust in him I place.
Earthly wealth is not abiding;
Like a stream away it's gliding;
Safe I anchor in his grace.
