1 In God delight; on God depend;
Him choose thy Guide, thy Way, thy End;
So shall his Love thy Wishes grant,
His Care anticipate thy Want.

2 With patient Hope await his Will;
Nor let the Sight of prosp'rous Ill
Induce thee, with Disquiet vain,
His wise Disposals to arraign.

3 For see the meek and pious Band
(Advanc'd by God's Almighty Hand)
Earth's Bounds possess and (Peace their Care)
The Fulness of its Blessings share.

4 That God, ye Saints, whose love ye seek,
The Arm of lawless Pow'r shall break;
And bid the Just protected stand
Beneath the Shadow of his Hand.

5 The Just (blest Object of thy Love!)
Thou, Lord, witl lead; his Path approve;
Thy faithful Hands his Steps sustain:
Nor falls He—but to rise again.
