The Chief Controller of heav’n

Merciful and all wise God;

My times are in Thy hand, Lord,

Thy word is the end of all.

By Thy word the world was made

My birth also by the word,

Parents, lands and things of time

They are all made by the word.

Times of sickness and of health,

Times of poverty and wealth,

Times of temptations and wrath,

Times of vict’ry and of help.

Times to know Satan’s tactics

Times to taste of Jesus love,

Seasons come and seasons go

As our friend in heaven wills.

Thou who art full of all grace,

I to Thee my soul commend,

I will confess Thy great love,

I bend down my knees to Thee.
