2.

WHATSO it be, howso it be, Amen.
   Blessed it is, believing, not to see.
Now God knows all that is; and we shall, then,
   Whatso it be.

   God's Will is best for man whose will is free:
God's Will is better to us, yea, than ten
   Desires whereof He holds and weighs the key.

Amid her household cares He guides the wren,
   He guards the shifty mouse from poverty,
He knows all wants, allots each where and when,
   Whatso it be.
