Lyics

'T is my happiness below
Not to live without the cross,
But the Savior's power to know,
Sanctifying ev'ry loss.


[Chorus] We with Jesus soon shall be
Happy in eternity;
By our Father's side sit down,
They that conquer shall wear the crown.


Trials must and will befall;
But for humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all,
This is happiness to me. --CHO.


Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to his feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there. --CHO.
