Laudes Domini ‎#459

459. A Father's hand

1 Be tranquil, O my soul!
Be quiet every fear!
Thy Father hath control,
And he is ever near.
Ne'er of thy lot complain,
Whatever may befall;
Sickness, or care, or pain,
'Tis well-appointed all.

2 A Father's chastening hand
Is leading thee along;
Nor distant is the land
Where swells the immortal song.
Oh, then, my soul, be still!
Await heaven's high decree;
Seek but thy Father's will,
It shall be well with thee.
