3. Hymn: Let Nothing Make Thee Sad Or Fretful

Let Nothing Make Thee Sad Or Fretful

Author: Paul Fleming

Let nothing make thee sad or fretful,      
Or too regretful;            
Be still;
What God hath ordered must be right;
Then find in it thine own delight,        
My will.  

Why shouldst thou fill to-day with sorrow      
About to-morrow,            
My heart?
One watches all with care most true;        
Doubt not that he will give thee too            
Thy part.  

Only be steadfast; never waver,      
Nor seek earth’s favor,            
But rest:        
Thou knowest what God wills must be
For all his creatures, so for thee,            
The best.
