Then thou presently wilt see, Thou hast little cause to grieve. 2 “Fear thou not, nor be ashamed, All thy sorrows soon shall end: I who heav’n and earth have framed, Am thy husband and thy friend: I the High and Holy One, Israel’s God by all adored; As thy Savior will be known, Thy Redeemer and thy Lord. 3 “For a moment I withdrew, And thy heart was filled with pain; But My mercies I’ll renew, Thou shalt soon rejoice again: Tho’ I seem to hide My face, Very soon My wrath shall cease; ’Tis but for a moment’s space, Ending in eternal peace. 4 “When My peaceful bow appears Painted on the watery cloud; ’Tis to dissipate thy fears, Lest the earth should be o’erflowed: ’Tis an emblem too of grace, Of My covenant love a sign; Though the mountains leave their place, Thou shalt be for ever Mine. 5 "Though afflicted, tempest-tossed, Comfortless awhile thou art, Do not think thou canst be lost, Thou art graven on My heart: All thy wastes I will repair, Thou shalt be rebuilt anew; And in thee it shall appear, What a God of love can do."
