will be done, And let that will be mine. 2 All-wise, almighty, and all-good, In Thee I firmly trust; Thy ways, unknown or understood, Are merciful and just. 3 May I remember that to Thee Whate'er I have I owe; And back in gratitude from me May all Thy bounties flow. 4 Thy gifts are only then enjoyed, When used as talents lent; Those talents only well employed, When in Thy service spent. 5 And though Thy wisdom takes away, Shall I arraign Thy will?
