LyicsO LORD, how happy should we be,
If we could cast our care on thee;
If we from self could rest,
And feel, at heart, that One above,
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,
Is working for the best!
Help us, O Lord, to trust in thee,
And in our trials still to see
The tokens of thy love;
Let no temptation overcome,
To lure us from the pathway home,
To live with thee above.
