‘Tis our happiness below
Not to live without the cross,
But the Saviour’s power to know,
-----fying every loss.
Trials must and will befall;
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all,
This our happiness shall be.
Trials make the promise sweet,
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring us to his feet,
Lay us low, and keep us there.
Did we meet no trials here,
No correction by the way,
Might we not, with reason, fear
We should yet be cast away?
Others may escape the rod,
Sunk in earthly vain delight;
But the true-born child of God
Must not, would not, if he might.
