By Abraham Ibn Ezra

Hope for the Salvation of the Lord

HOPE for the salvation of the Lord,

In Him I trust, when fears my being thrill;

Come life, come death, according to his word,

He is my portion still.

Him will I serve, His am I as of old;

I ask not to be free.

Sweet is ev’n sorrow coming in His name,

Nor will I seek its purpose to explore;

His praise will I continually proclaim,

And bless Him evermore.
