Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AEAEFCFC GFGFHCHC| How often Lord when 'tis Thy will | A |
| To use the chastening rod | B |
| My soul possessed of passions ill | A |
| Rebels against its God | B |
| Denies that Justice reigns in heaven | C |
| Doth His decrees pervade | D |
| And loathes the blessings He hath given | C |
| The creatures He hath made | D |
| - | |
| Do thou the spirit me instil | A |
| Of sweet submission Lord | E |

| But never did repine | C |
| And bore the cross at Thy desire | F |
| When harder far than mine | C |
| - | |
| Enough it is my King's command | G |
| What more do I require | F |
| Yet what is from a father's hand | G |
| Can but to good conspire | F |
| And all Thy workings are inwove | H |
| In Thine eternal plan | C |
| Which wills the welfare in Thy love | H |
| And works the weal of man | C |
