Soon end in joyous day.
3 What, though thou rulest not?
Yet heaven, and earth, and hell
Proclaim,--God sitteth on the throne,
And ruleth all things well.
4 Leave to his sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou wondering own, his way
How wise, how strong his hand!
Ger., Paul Gerhardt, 1666. Tr. John Wesley, 1739.
