167. What God Hath Done

1 What God hath done is done aright,
So think all true believers;
They feel His love, thy own His might,
Though fond hopes prove deceivers:
Mid seeming ill
God loves them still,
And e'en by sorrow's leaven,
Would raise their hearts to heaven.

2 What God hath done is done aright,
In gifts withheld or sent us;
And what sufficeth in His sight,
Should always well content us;
'Tis for our sakes
He gives or takes;
Then, humbly bowed before Him,
In silence we adore Him.

3 What God hath done is done aright,
May He submissive make us!
His gracious promise He doth plight,
That He will ne'er forsake us:
Our Saviour knows
Our wants and woes,
And all we need provideth:
Praise God, whate'er betide eth!

Amen.
