Content, O Lord, and free from fear

Verse 1

Content, O Lord, and free from fear, I calmly trust in Thee; I murmur not within the sphere Thy love assigns to me.

Verse 2

I leave to Thy disposing hand, Events I cannot mold; With steadfast faith serene I stand, And see Thy plan unfold.

Verse 3

The service which the Master finds, It is my joy to share; The burden which Thy wisdom binds, With patient hope I bear.

Verse 4

To duty's call the voice of God, My heart responsive cries; Beneath affliction's chastening rod, My soul submissive lies.

Verse 5

Amen.
