For Believers Suffering

This little one verse hymn (to the tune Snowfields) is useful as we remember suffering that we have been, or are going, through. I don't think it has found its way into any of the hymnals:

Lord, I adore thy gracious will,
Through every instrument of ill
My Father's goodness see,
Accept the complicated wrong (2 Sam.16:5-13)
Of Shimei's hand and Shimei's tongue
As kind rebukes from thee. (Rev. 3:19)
