Since all the varying scenes of time
1
Since all the varying scenes of timeGod's watchful eye surveys,O who so wise to choose our lot,Or to appoint our ways?
2
Good, when he gives, supremely good,Nor less when he denies;E'en crosses, from his sovereign hand,Are blessings in disguise.

Why should we doubt a Father's love,So constant and so kind?To his unerring, gracious willBe every wish resigned.
