Lord, how mysterious are Thy ways!

How blind are we! how mean our praise!

Thy steps, can mortal eyes explore?

'Tis ours to wonder and adore.

Great God! I would not ask to see

What in my coming life shall be;

Enough for me if love divine,

At length through every cloud shall shine.

Are darkness and distress my share?

Then let me trust Thy guardian care;
