This my happiness below,
Not to live without the cross;
But the Saviour's power to know,
Sanctifying ev'ry loss.
Trials must and will befall —
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all —
This is happiness to me.
Did I meet no trials here,
No chastisement by the way,
Might I not with reason fear
I should be a cast-away?
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to pray'r;
Bring me to my Saviour's feet.
Lay me low, and keep me there.
This my happiness below,
Not to live without the cross;
But the Saviour's power to know,
Sanctifying ev'ry loss.
Trials must and will befall —
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all —
This is happiness to me.
Did I meet no trials here,
No chastisement by the way,
Might I not with reason fear
I should be a cast-away?
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to pray'r;
Bring me to my Saviour's feet.
Lay me low, and keep me there.
