1. I thanked my God sincerely as the darknesses
Of that night gave way to the brightness of dawn.

2. And I knew that God on His throne did not neglect
My prayer, and that every loss is followed by gain.

3. If worries embittered my patience,
My patience led me to gratitude.

4. May God protect the star of faith and highest aspirations
For all time, from the turns of fate.

5. So protection remains, and humbled are aggressions;
So remains freshness, and gone are aridities.
