He who always gently schools me and who daily guides and rules me, will remain my help divine. 3 When with sorrow I am stricken, hope my heart anew will quicken, all my longing shall be stilled. To God's lovingkindness tender soul and body I surrender, for on him alone I build. 4 Well he knows what best to grant me; all the longing hopes that haunt me, joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt your wisdom never; as God wills, so be it ever; I commit to him my way. 5 If my days on earth he lengthen, God my weary steps will strengthen; all my trust in him I place. Things of earth are not abiding, like a stream away are gliding; safe I anchor in his grace.
