Verse 1
O God, from whom our blessings flow,
Orderer of all events below;
With gracious smile thy children see
Who hope success from none but thee.

Verse 2
But if thou favour our design
Tho’ men and fiends against us join,
They cannot thy decree repeal,
They cannot contradict thy will.

Verse 3
The counsel of the Lord shall stand,
For all bow down to thy command;
It must be done, whate’er it be,
And lo! we wait our work to see.

Verse 4
Thou wilt not let us hence remove
Without the convoy of thy love;
And if thy love our steps attend,
Our toil on earth in heaven shall end.
