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:
       F#
Please warm my skin, please send him
     Bm                 Bb+               G
That we might leave our homes and smile unbidden
       F#
Please rip our winter open
Bm                  Bb+             D/A
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
    G            A7          D
The angel of the disc of the sun
