1. May God's will ever come to pass, | |||
His will is best and righteous; | |||
to those whose faith is fixed | |||
and fast He offers aid that's timeless. | |||
He helps us when we call on Him, | |||

But trust in Him and rest in Him, | |||
He never will neglect us. | |||
2. God is my comfort, confidence, | |||
my life, my hope, protection; | |||
whate'er He wills in consequence | |||
should be my will most surely. | |||
His word is true, for ev'ry hair | |||
upon my head He numbers. | |||
He guards and keeps and never sleeps. | |||
His watchful eye ne'er slumbers. | |||
3. I'll gladly leave this earthly life, | |||
when God's will has ordained it, | |||
repair to God, leave earthly strife | |||
and know that He has willed it. | |||

O gracious Lord, sin, hell, | |||

English translation
1. May God's will ever come to pass,
His will is best and righteous;
to those whose faith is fixed
and fast He offers aid that's timeless.
He helps us when we call on Him,
and lovingly corrects us.
But trust in Him and rest in Him,
He never will neglect us.
2. God is my comfort, confidence,
my life, my hope, protection;
whate'er He wills in consequence
should be my will most surely.
His word is true, for ev'ry hair
upon my head He numbers.
He guards and keeps and never sleeps.
His watchful eye ne'er slumbers.
3. I'll gladly leave this earthly life,
when God's will has ordained it,
repair to God, leave earthly strife
and know that He has willed it.
My soul commit as He sees fit
when my life's breath has faltered.
O gracious Lord, sin, hell,
and death for me You have now conquered.
4. A prayer, O Lord, I now attempt,
and You will not refuse me:
if evil spirits me should tempt,
Lord, let not them confuse me,
but help, direct, defend me, Lord,
that I may praise your name, then.
Who asks, to him it shall be giv'n.
In joy I say now:
Amen.
