By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered
And confidently waiting come what may
We know that God is with us night and morning
And never fails to greet us each new day
Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented
Still evil days bring burdens hard to bear
Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation
For which O Lord, you taught us to prepare
And when this cup you give is filled to brimming up
With bitter suffering, hard to understand
We take it thankfully and without trembling
Out of so good and so beloved a hand
Yet when again in this same world you give us
The joy we had, the brightness of your son
We shall remember all the days we lived through
And our whole lives shall then be yours alone
