SUBMISSION

Trials when in mercy sent,
Coming from a Father’s hand,
Bid us banish discontent,
Humbly bow at his command:
Let us then submissive prove,
Own the strokes were sent in love.


Are we chastened day by day,
Do we languish through the night;
All these sorrows pave the way,
For enjoyment and delight:
Let us then submissive learn,
Our true interest to discern.


In that world where Jesus reigns,
Troubles never can assail;
Streams no more o’erflow the plains,
Where incessant joys prevail:
Let us then submissive prove,
Looking to that world above. 

Benjamin Beddome 1717 - 1795 ( 77 Years )
