It is thy hand, my God

1

It is thy hand, my God;My sorrow comes from thee:I bow beneath thy chastening rod;'Tis love that bruises me.

2

I would not murmur, Lord;Before thee I am dumb:Lest I should breathe one murmuring word,To thee for help I come.

3

My God, thy name is love;A Father's hand is thine;With tearful eyes I look above,And cry, "Thy will be mine!"
