<p>If you will only let God guide you,<br>
|
|
And hope in Him through all your ways,<br>
|
|
Whatever comes, He’ll stand beside you,<br>
|
|
To bear you through the evil days;<br>
|
|
Who trusts in God’s unchanging love<br>
|
|
Builds on the Rock that cannot move.</p>
|
|
<p>Only be still, and wait His leisure<br>
|
|
In cheerful hope, with heart content<br>
|
|
To take whatever the Father’s pleasure<br>
|
|
And all discerning love have sent;<br>
|
|
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known<br>
|
|
To Him Who chose us for His own.</p>
|
|
<p>Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,<br>
|
|
But do your part in conscience true;<br>
|
|
Trust His rich promises of grace,<br>
|
|
So shall they be fulfilled in you;<br>
|
|
God hears the call of those in need,<br>
|
|
The souls that trust in Him indeed.</p>

<p><em>Winkworth’s original translation:</em></p>
|
|
<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>If thou but suffer God to guide thee<br>
|
|
And hope in Him through all thy ways,<br>
|
|
He’ll give thee strength, whate’er betide thee,<br>
|
|
And bear thee through the evil days.<br>
|
|
Who trust in God’s unchanging love<br>
|
|
Builds on the rock that naught can move.</p>
|
|
<p>What can these anxious cares avail thee<br>
|
|
These never ceasing moans and sighs?<br>
|
|
What can it help if thou bewail thee<br>
|
|
O’er each dark moment as it flies?<br>
|
|
Our cross and trials do but press<br>
|
|
The heavier for our bitterness.</p>
|
|
<p>Be patient and await His leisure<br>
|
|
In cheerful hope, with heart content<br>
|
|
To take whatever thy Father’s pleasure<br>
|
|
And His discerning love hath sent,<br>
|
|
Nor doubt our inmost want are known<br>
|
|
To Him who chose us for His own.</p>
|
|
<p>God knows full well when time of gladness<br>
|
|
Shall be the needful thing for thee.<br>
|
|
When He has tried thy soul with sadness<br>
|
|
And from all guile has found thee free,<br>
|
|
He comes to thee all unaware<br>
|
|
And makes thee own His loving care.</p>
|
|
<p>Nor think amid the fiery trial<br>
|
|
That God hath cast thee off unheard,<br>
|
|
That he whose hopes meet no denial<br>
|
|
Must surely be of God preferred.<br>
|
|
Time passes and much change doth bring<br>
|
|
And set a bound to everything.</p>
|
|
<p>All are alike before the Highest:<br>
|
|
’Tis easy for our God, We know,<br>
|
|
To raise thee up, though low thou liest,<br>
|
|
To make the rich man poor and low.<br>
|
|
True wonders still by Him are wrought<br>
|
|
Who setteth up and brings to naught.</p>
|
|
<p>Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,<br>
|
|
Perform thy duties faithfully,<br>
|
|
And trust His Word: though undeserving,<br>
|
|
Thou yet shalt find it true for thee.<br>
|
|
God never yet forsook in need<br>
|
|
The soul that trusted Him indeed.</p>
