God is my portion for ever.
Psalm 73:26.
My times of sorrow and of joy,
Great God! are in thy hand;
My choicest comforts come from thee,
And go at thy command.
2 If thou shouldst take them all away,
Yet would I not repine;
Before they were possessed by me,
They were entirely thine.
3 Nor would I drop a murmuring word,
Though all the world were gone,
But seek enduring happiness
In thee, and thee alone.
Beddome.
