To Have Such Surrender...

What'ere Thy providence denies
I calmly would resign
For Thou art just and good and wise
O bend my will to Thine!

What'ere Thy sacred will ordains
O give me strength to bear;
And let me know my Father reigns
And trust His tender care

If cares and sorrows me surround
Their power why should I fear?
My inward peace they cannot wound
If Thou, God, art near.
