1 Depend on God, and Him obey
So thou within the Land shalt stay,
Secure from Danger and from Want:
Make his Commands thy Chief Delight;
And He, thy Duty to requite,
Shall all thy earnest Wishes grant.
2 In all thy Ways trust thou the Lord,
And He will needful Help afford
To perfect every just Design
He'll make, like lIght serene and clear,
Thy clouded Innocence appear,
And as the Mid-Day Sun to shine.
3 His constant Care the Upright guides,
And over all their Life presides;
Their Portion shall for ever last:
They, when Distress o'erwhelms the Earth,
Shall be unmov'd; and, e'en in Dearth,
The happy Fruits of Plenty taste.
