Wie's Gott gefällt, gefällt's mir auch
Ambrosius Blaurer
trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869
"What pleaseth God, that pleaseth me, I will not fear nor tremble Though cares may fret, though I may see My bitterest foes assemble; Though all things in confusion seem, I know God's will is still supreme: What must be, let it be--I rest Firmly on this, His will is best. | "What pleaseth God I frankly take, And only ask for patience; He yet will help me, nor forsake My soul amid temptations; Though pain or death itself may threat, His power I know can save me yet: What must be, let it be--my trust The end will show was right and just." | |
