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.
