   I Leave All Things to God's Direction
   By: Salomo Franck
   
   I leave all things to God's direction,
   For he loves me in wealth or woe;
   His will is good, and his affection,
   His tender love is true, I know.
   My strength, my fortress rock is he:
   What pleases God, that pleases me.
   
   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 blessing end.
   His love endures eternally:
   What pleases God, that pleases me.
   
   The will of God shall be my pleasure
   While here I live life's interim;
   My will is wrong beyond all measure,
   It does not will what pleases him.
   The Christian's motto then must be:
   What pleases God, that pleases me.
   
   God knows what must be done to save me,
   His love for me will never cease;
   And all my sins my Lord forgave me
   With purest gold of loving grace.
   His will supreme must ever be:
   What pleases God, that pleases me.
   
   My God desires each soul's salvation,
   My soul he too desires to save;
   Therefore with Christian resignation
   All earthly troubles I will brave.
   His will be done eternally:
   What pleases God, that pleases me.
