The Sun, the worlds wonder
Thru power brought forth,
Went down before my life
I walk in the night
I am your good Father’s child
A person, and indeed I am blind.

O God, in all thy power
Oh! Why is this done to me?
Thy light in so many eyes
And Kept it away from me?
Because I am a  weak sinner
So all is darkness.

Who can thy love give
Thy wisdom, eternal God
Can never and no where bring
Thou dost rule my lot in life
Oh no!  How great my sin or lot may be
This seems to be my lot in life.

Once shall shine that bright morning
That will never disappear
That all which is hidden
Will also let me realize
Then my clear eyes shall see a light
Where the beauty of the world is displayed.

And then with thanksgiving
Let us not complain
That who has closed our eyes
Will also again open them
Let only God’s blessing be without sight
Our concern in this life.

My eyes are closed
My walk in the night
With nature satisfied
Is nature so rich and beautiful?
Thou dost speak of heaven and sun
Oh!  That my eyes might see it.

Has God then forgotten me
He who dost feed the worms
Could He then hate me
Oh no, I am His child
Although my eyes no flowers see
Forgotten? NO! No me.


I want to honor His wisdom
However hard it seems
The future shall know it
Why I must be blind
And God too has this in control
And there is nothing happens by chance.


Shall I then sorrowfully mourn
Where I a Loving Father have
Who thru my missing of colors
Thru my feeling helps
And I having but a few friends
He does healing give in my hurt.


No!  Saved are those that trust
Although they cannot see
That beauty land there above
Shall our joy and glory be
Yes; taken part in this lot of life
Yes; in the heavens do we see God.

Story: Un Wil Geschiede (Thy Will Be Done)

Posted by rdomokos1

Evert Eijlander

Father that thy will be done
Oh; mine is oft so wrong
I have in good times and hard times
Through falling, and in trouble
Too often experienced this.

Father that Thy will be done
When I formally prayed this
Ay sinful did not pray with
But did often with my mouth offer these prayers
Which I did not truly pray.

Father that thy will be done
I know from experience
To heal a sick person
Often the pains are gruesome
Before the disease is healed.

Father Thy will be done
Take, take all what thou does seem fit
Give all what thou wilt give
Happiness or pain; death or life
And a heart that does not complain.

Father that thy will be done
Amen Father I am ready to meet thee
I will not do or ask anything
Than to Praise thy holy name
in all eternity Amen.

Story: Eeninge Dicht Regels (Some Thoughts)

Evert Eijlander

Come dear struggling partners
The eye on God set forth
His love came forth
Out of darkness into light
I’ll hold in this anxious life
Hold faithfully thy hand
My soul shalt thou lead
On rough and painful ways
And in your dying
Your last breath give
I will take you to heaven
In the twinkling of an eye
Then shall your mouth up above
In that happy Jerusalem
My goodness ever praise
With untiring voice.
Oh Lord, teach us to walk in thy ways
Come dear Jesus come
So that we forever praise thee
As our Saviour and Lord.
