What cheering words are these?
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and in eternity
'Tis with the righteous well.
In every state secure
Kept by Jehovah's eye
'Tis well with them while life endures,
And well when called to die.
Well in affliction's ways,
Or on the mount with God;
Well when they joy, and sing, and praise,
Or buffet with the flood.
'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow;
'Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.
'Tis well when on the mount
They feast on saving love;
And 'tis as well in God's account
When they the furnace prove.
'Tis well when at his throne
They wrestle, weep, and pray;
'Tis well when at his feet they groan,
Yet bring their wants away.
'Tis well when Jesus calls,
From earth and sin, arise,
Join with the host of virgin souls?
Made to salvation wise.
---Alternative verses---
What cheering words are these?
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time, and to eternal days,
“‘Tis with the righteous well.”
But above all, how well
When Jesus speaks the word,
And, at the trumpet's sounding swell,
They rise to meet their Lord!
What cheering words are these!
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternal days ---
" 'Tis with believers well!"
What cheering words are these!
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time, and to eternity,
‘Tis with the righteous well.
In every state secure,
Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
‘Tis well with them while life endures
And well when called to die.
In every state secure,
Watched by the Saviour's eye,
'Tis well with them should life endure,
And well if called to die.
In every state secure
Kept as Jehovah's eye
'Tis well with them while life endures,
And well when called to die.
Well, when they see his face,
Or sink amid the flood;
Well, in affliction's thorny maze,
Or on the mount with God.
'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow,
Or darkness seems to veil the skies,
And strong temptations grow.
'Tis well when on the mount,
They feast and joy in love;
And 'tis as well, in God's account,
When they the furnace prove.
‘Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dying love;
And ‘tis as well, in God’s account,
When they the furnace prove.
'Tis well when Jesus calls,
“From earth and sin, arise,
To join the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise!”
