1. Nature, she shows her weeping eyes, | |||
When e'er a near relation dies; | |||
Her streaming eyes flow down with tears, | |||
A sad, a mournful face appears. | |||
2. Nature laments the grievous loss, | |||
Repines and mourns beneath the cross! | |||
Because it cannot be resigned | |||
To God our heavenly Father's mind. | |||
3. Around the coffin nature stands, | |||
With quivering lips and trembling hands; | |||
With restless eyes surveys the dead, | |||
The great destruction death has made.}} | |||

4 With murmuring eyes she doth survey | |||
Her fellow lump of mortal clay; | |||
Destroy'd by death's consuming spear, | |||
The King of nature's dread and fear. | |||
5. Nature is not subject we find | |||
To the Almighty's sacred mind; | |||
She cannot say, Oh sovereign Son | |||
Thy ways are just, thy will be done. | |||
6. We in the spirit are resign'd | |||
To God's all righteous will and mind; | |||
And thus the true believer says, | |||
"The Lord is just in all his ways."}} | |||

Thou righteous Lord, eternal Son; | |||
Thou everlasting God and king, | |||
Thy will be done in everything."}} | |||
