(SECOND TUNE)
L'OMNIPOTENT. (11 10. 1110.) (
symbol characters) = 80.
Melody composed or
adapted by L. Bourgeois for
the Genevaan 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.
