Wie's Gott gefällt, gefällt's mir auch
Ambrosius Blaurer
trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869
|What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me,
I will not fear nor tremble
Though cares may fret, though I may see
My bitterest foes assemble;
Though all things in confusion seem,
I know God's will is still supreme:
What must be, let it be -- I rest
Firmly on this, His will is best.
|What pleaseth God I frankly take,
And only ask for patience;
He yet will help me, nor forsake
My soul amid temptations;
Though pain or death itself may threat,
His power I know can save me yet:
What must be, let it be -- my trust
The end will show was right and just.|
