LyicsHappy are they who learn in thee,
Though patient suffering teach,
The secret of enduring strength,
And praise too deep for speech;
Peace that no pressure from without,
Nor strife within can reach.
Safe in thy sanctifying grace,
Almighty to restore,
Borne onward -- sin and death behind
And love and life before --
O let my soul abound in hope,
And praise thee evermore!
