Or if, while in this vale of tears,
My path should be beset with fears,
Still help me, Lord, to trust in Thee,
All things must work for good to me.
All things, my Father! then at last,
When all my days on earth are past,
When troubles shall forever cease,
And all my trials end in peace,
When I shall bid this world farewell,
And upward mount with Thee to dwell,
There to behold Thee face to face,
And know the riches of Thy grace;
I’ll sing throughout eternity,
“All things have worked for good to me.”
