Hymns and Sacred Lyrics | ||
393. Resignation.
1
Tho' my path has been stormy, a wilderness drear,The day is declining, the shadows are near;
A little more patience, and I shall survey
The portals of peace, and the regions of day.
2
When the tempests of winter grow darker and higher,Still the husbandman sows, with hope to inspire;
With faith in the future, he learns to endure
Both the wind and the rain, since the harvest is sure.

3
Shall he trust the seasons, and Christians complainOf their moments of darkness, their sorrow, and pain,
When soon their worst woes they will cease to regret,
And the sun on them rise, which never will set?
4
Instruct me, Great Sovereign! to bow to thy will;Thy voice to regard, thy good pleasure fulfil;
And in the fit moment, which thou knowest best,
O, take me to dwell in thy haven of rest!
