1 I take my portion from Thy hand,
And do not seek to understand;
Whate'er it be! Whate'er it be!
I do not fear, whate'er it be!
Thy love divine sustaineth me;
Thy will is mine, whate'er it be.
2 When darkness doth Thy face obscure,
Whate'er it be! Whate'er it be!
I do not fear, whate'er it be!
Thy love divine sustaineth me;
Thy will is mine, whate'er it be.
Whate'er it be! Whate'er it be!
I do not fear, whate'er it be!
Thy love divine sustaineth me;
Thy will is mine, whate'er it be.
4 Thus calmly do I face my lot,
Accept it, Lord, and doubt Thee not;
Whate'er it be! Whate'er it be!
I do not fear, whate'er it be!
Thy love divine sustaineth me;
Thy will is mine, whate'er it be.
