1 Gud, min Gud och fader kär,
O hur dyr din godhet är,
Att din omsorg sträcker sig
Ock till mig!

2 Ja, din godhet vida går,
Längre än min tanke når,
Och i evigheten än
Varar den.

3 Även där du handlar så,
Att jag rätt ej kan förstå
Vad du menar, Herre kär,
Näd det är.

4 O min själ, var glad och sjung,
Lämma sorgens börda tung,
Kommer dag, så kommer råd,
Allt av nåd.

5 Annan tröst ej räcker till,
Annan ja ej söka vill.
Nåden är evinnerlig
Nog för mig.
