Verse 1:
D
Ye fearful people, courage take
The clouds, ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
G A D
In blessings on your head
D
Your purposes shall ripen fast
Unfolding every hour
The bud may have a bitter taste
G A E7
But sweet shall be the flower
Chorus:
G A D
And though dark weather we must accept
G A D
There is another element
G
Please God, please God
A D
Your agents send
G E7
For every lively flowering
A
Is aided by this friend
Verse 2:
D
Judge not the world by feeble sense
But trust it for its grace
Behind a frowning Providence
G A D
There hides a smiling face
D
The rain may drench the driest soul
And fog deter my sins
Yes, I do believe to bow
G A E7
To the beauty of your whims
Chorus:
G A D
And though dark weather I do embrace
G A D
And variety is the spice of days
G A D
I confess a hope, a love for one
G E7 A
The angel of the disc of the sun
Bridge:

Brightness, you are longed for, you are the one
Chorus:
G E7 A
The angel of the disc of the sun
G E7 A
The angel of the disc of the sun

The angel of the disc of the sun
