628. L. M. Beddome.

Submission.

1Wait, O my soul, thy Maker's will!

Tumultuous passions, all be still!

Nor let one murmuring thought arise;

His ways are just, his counsels wise.

2He in the thickest darkness dwells,

Performs his work,--the cause conceals;

But though his methods are unknown,

Judgment and truth support his throne.

3In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas,

He executes his firm decrees;

And by his saints it stands confessed

That what he does is ever best.
