1. 'Tis my happiness below
  Not to live without the cross;
  But the Savior's pow'r to know
  Sanctifying every loss.
2. Trail 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 trial here,
  No chastisement by the way,
  Might I not with reason fear
  I should prove a castaway?
4. Trails make the promise sweet;
  Trials give new life to prayer;
  Bring me to my Savior's feet,
  Lay me low and keep me there.
