In Affliction. 7's.

Cowper.

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. Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to his feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.
