Think it not strange, then, pilgrim, .....neither faint,
Much less indulge in murmuring and complaint,
If what you meet with in your heavenly road
Is hard to bear; ........since all is planned by God,
His child to train in wisdom’s...... holy ways,
And form a chosen vessel ........for His praise.
Now we are slow ........those ways to understand;
But let us bow beneath His mighty hand,
Sure that His wisdom......... over all presides,
His power controls,........ and love unerring guides.
