And you're right, but the closer I can get with the words, the better. 18th century Anglican choral music is pretty obscure, and it's not like I can insert an mp3 into a fic. :)
I think I've got one, by Leonard Lechner:
If we receive good at the hand of God, shall we not then also endure evil? The Lord gives, the Lord takes away: as it pleases the Lord, so is it done, let the name of the Lord be blessed.
I've always figured that if you read that verse to someone who's life had really hit the skids, their response would be none too positive.
