God help us now, as we bend low
And seek for grace above;
And may He ever to us show
An all-consoling love!
2. And whilst we miss the one that's gone
Unto a better home;
O may our faith, e'en whilst we mourn,
Behold the ransomed one!
3. We know that He who made us weep,
Can give us light once more;
And all our souls in safety keep,
And holy rest restore!
4. To Him, all wise, we bend our will,
Through Jesus Christ, the Son;
And as we hear His ""Peace, be still,""
A splendid trust is won!
