Advent Hymnals
248. 'TIS MY HAPPINESS BELOW
Church Hymnal 1941,
1.
'Tis my happiness below
Not to live without the cross;
But the Saviour's power to know,
Sanctifying every loss.
2.
Trials must and will befall;
But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all'
This is happiness to me.
3.
Did I meet no trials here,
No chastisement by the way,
Might I not with reason fear
I should prove a castaway?
4.
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to his feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.
