All events at Your command

His decree, Who formed the earth
Fixed my first and second birth
Now my life to Him I owe
Where He leads me I will go

Keep my heart to only You
Since I cannot part from Thee
Sovereign Ruler ever be

Plagues and deaths around me fly
Till He bids, I cannot die
Not a single shaft can hit
Till the God of love thinks fit

Times the tempter’s power to prove
Times to taste a Savior’s love
All must come and last and end
As shall please my heavenly Friend

Sovereign Ruler ever be
Verse 5
He that formed me in the womb
He shall guide me to the tomb
All my times shall ever be
Ordered by His wise decree

Having Thee, I all possess
Since I cannot part from Thee
Sovereign Ruler ever be
