O Father, dearest Father

2. I rest in You, safe hidden,
   O dearest Father mine.
   When fears and cares surround me,
   in You deep peace I find.
3. Within Your heart I’m resting;
   Your love enfolds me there.
   Your heart knows all my suffering
   and how much I can bear.
4. All that will come upon me
   I know You’ve planned, O Lord.
   The suff’ring that You send me
   serves only to my good.
5. My heart in fear and sorrow
   may rest in quietness.
   I trust in Your will wholly,
   and this is blessedness.
