Verse 1
How safe and happy we
Who dare in GOD confide,
Secure of full Prosperity
With Jesus on our Side:
If He the Counsel speed
We cannot lose our Pains,
For why, the Cause must needs succeed
Which GOD Himself maintains.

Verse 2
His Providential Will
Tho’ Earth’s whole Power oppose,
The Lord is King, and reigneth still,
Or’e all his restless Foes:
Shall Man abortive make
What GOD’s Design hath done?
As well an Arm of Flesh might4 shake
The Everlasting Throne.

Verse 3
Here then, O Lord, we rest
In thy Almighty Love,
Whate’er thy Will appoints is best,
And must successful prove:
Our Forwardness of Choice
We chearfully resign
And listen for the Secret Voice
That whispers thy Design.

Verse 4
Thy great Design we know
To save our Souls at last;
But order all our Life below
Till all our Life is past;
That let us do and be
Which most delights thy Eyes
And chuse what brings us nearest Thee,
Our Bridegroom in the Skies.
