According to Thy grace, and not according to his sin!
SOLOMON IBN GABIROL, 1050.

RESIGNATION
RIGHTEOUS art Thou, O God, and ever just,
And none can question, none withstand Thy will;
And though our hearts be humbled to the dust,
Teach us, through all, to see Thy mercy still.
Our life is measured out by Thee above,
And to Thy will each human heart must bow;
