By Abraham Ibn EzraHope for the Salvation of the Lord
H
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.
