Since Thou, the everlasting God,
Our Father art become;
Jesus, our Guardian and our Friend,
And heaven our final home:
We welcome all Thy sovereign will,
For all that will is love;
And when we know not what Thou dost,
We wait the light above.
Thy gracious love, in all our need,
Shall heavenly light impart;
And be our theme of endless praise
When all things else depart.
