In vain is all thy toil and pain,<br />Unless thy house be built by God;<br />So, too, man’s hope is all in vain<br />When placed in his own powers flawed.<br />Except thy place<br />By God’s good grace<br />Be propped up and protected,<br />No waking would<br />Do any good<br />For what thou hast erected.<br /><br />2. What profits us ere dawn to rise,<br />And multiply our fruitless pains?<br />So all our efforts fail likewise,<br />And all must go as God ordains.<br />And though we might<br />Find bread despite,<br />And through much grief and trouble;<br />If God deign not<br />To bless this lot,<br />What use if it were double?<br /><br />3. Alone our heav’nly Father’s might<br />Can bless the people, rule the plot,<br />This truth is daily in our sight,<br />For if this Shepherd kept us not,<br />All rule would fall<br />Though built so tall,<br />And seemingly abiding;<br />What misery<br />We people see,<br />For not in God confiding.<br /><br />4. If God to man some children cedes<br />He gives them only out of grace,<br />He is the One who keeps and feeds,<br />Though much a man may sweat and pace.<br />Without God’s will<br />’Tis futile still,<br />All paths His pow’r may alter,<br />Just as by haste<br />The strong men waste<br />And make their arrows falter.<br /><br />5. How blessed, then, that place must be<br />Which God Himself by rule sustains;<br />And such a house that man will see<br />Whom God upon his pathway trains.<br />Wherefore make sure<br />Thy trust be pure<br />And on Him solely grounded.<br />Without whose hand<br />The strongest land<br />Must surely be confounded.Matt Carver (Matthaeus Glyptes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05089508591297052114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18631784.post-25142145410925967372010-11-07T19:45:25.504-05:002010-11-07T19:45:25.504-05:00How's that translation coming?
