Author: Salomo Franck, 1659-1725; August Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: Christian Worship #799 (2021) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship Lyrics: 1 I leave all things to God's direction;
he loves me both in joy and woe.
His will is good, sure his affection;
his tender love is true, I know.
My fortress and my rock is he:
what pleases God, that pleases me.
2 God knows what must be done to save me;
his love for me will never cease.
Upon his hands he did engrave me
with purest gold of loving grace.
His will supreme must ever be:
what pleases God, that pleases me.
3 God gives me help in all temptation,
his loving goal my soul to save.
Calm in the face of life's frustration,
all earthly trouble I will brave.
His will be done eternally:
what pleases God, that pleases me.
4 My God has all things in his keeping;
he is my ever-faithful friend.
He gives me laughter after weeping,
and all his ways in blessings end.
His love endures eternally:
what pleases God, that pleases me.
