6-Then in the secret of my soul, Thou, even Thou, wilt comfort me- 7-Still in the solitary place Till with the solace of Thy love And all my hopes of happiness 129 land 1-Whatever God does is well! His children find it so. Some He doth not with plenty bless, Yet loves them not the less, But draws their hearts unto Himself away. Oh! hearts obey. 2—Whatever God does is well, Whether he gives or takes! And what we from His hand receive He takes and gives, while yet He loves us still. Then love His will. 3 Whatever God does is well! And what can our will do? We cannot reap from what we sow Sometimes He doth all other good destroy, 4-Whatever God does is well! And His will shall prevail. Doth He refuse thy hands to fill? He knows Thy heart to still. A Christian from a very little gift 5-Whatever God does is well! Altho' the field look dark, Yet cheerful in His path we go ; And by our faith we know That Christ for us hath heavenly riches bought. Can we lack aught? 6-Whatever God does is well! In patience let us wait: He doth Himself our burdens bear, He doth for us take care. And He, our God, knows all our weary 1—While travelling through this wilderness Weary and worn we roam, 'Tis sweet to cast a look above Oh! for that land of rest above, 2-Here trees are not the trees that grow Of that bright flood whose living streams We see not here th' immortal fruit, Oh! for that land of rest above, 3-The tones we hear are not the tones Of music and of love, That breathe from thousand harps and songs Of endless joys above. We tread in haste along, With trembling and with fear, For this is not our home, We've no continuing here. Home, sweet home! Oh! for that land of rest above, Our own eternal home! 4-Oh! for the death of those that die That sink in peace like the waves of eve, They stand before their Father's face Redeem'd and wash'd they stay at home, Home, sweet home! Oh! for that land of rest above, Our own eternal home! 131 Rom. viii. 33, 35. 1-Sing Hallelujah! Christ doth live, With grateful hearts to Him we pay Who aught unto our charge shall lay? 2-Who can condemn, since Christ has died, And ever lives with God? Now our whole debt is fully paid, The ransom'd hosts in earth and heaven 8.7. |
