248- 'Tis My Happiness Below

MIDI	MP3	Partition

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.
