1. I thought of God's goodness and forgiveness
Of the disobedient sinner, though the sin be grave

2. And I had good expectations of Him
Whom my sins cannot harm, so hardship became easy and distress cleared away

3. And from His generosity I hoped for safety
For the dweller in this tomb, touched by fear

4. And I called upon, O Lord, Your abundance
And Your servant Ismail hopes in You, O my Lord
