(SECOND TUNE)

L'OMNIPOTENT. (11 10. 11 10.) 𝅗𝅥 = 80.

Melody composed or adapted by L. Bourgeois for the Genevan Psalter (1543).

Naught shall affright us, on thy goodness leaning;
Low in the heart faith singeth still her song;
Chastened by pain we learn life's deeper meaning,
And in our weakness thou dost make us strong.

Patient, heart, though heavy be thy sorrows;
Be not cast down, disquieted in vain;
Yet shalt thou praise him, when these darkened furrows,
Where now he plougheth, wave with golden grain.
