- 1When languor and disease invade
- This trembling house of clay,
- 'Tis sweet to look beyond my pain,
- And long to fly away;
- 2Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,
- Whose love can never end;
- Sweet on his covenant of grace
- For all things to depend;
- 3Sweet, in the confidence of faith,
- To trust his firm decrees;
- Sweet to lie passive in his hands,
- And know no will but his.
