Submission.
Teach us, in time of deep distress,
To own thy hand, O God,
And in submissive silence learn
The lessons of thy rod.
2 In every changing scene of life,
Whate’er that scene may be,
Give us a meek and humble mind,
A mind at peace with thee.
3 Do thou direct our steps aright;
Help us thy name to fear;
And give us grace to watch and pray,
And strength to persevere.
4 Then may we close our eyes in death,
Without a fear or care;
For death is life, and labor rest,
If thou art with us there.
