  1. The time of mourning and of joy
    In Thine stock do all lay
    My comfort from Thine hand doth come
    In Thine command forth go.

  2. If Thou will from me to retrieve
    I shall never be crossed
    When all yet I may doth possess
    All but Thine possession.

  3. Nay not ever will I blaspheme
    If the earth fly away,
    Eternal joy I shall all seek
    From Thee and Thee alone.

  4. The earth and its fullness of nought
    All but bitter savour;
    Much as I would the flower to reap
    But Thorn all that I met.

  5. Perfect joy nay is here to find;
    Honey laden with gall
    Amidst all changing tides of life
    Be Thou my all in all. Amen.
