Happy are they who learn in thee,

Though patient suffering teach,

The secret of enduring strength,

And praise too deep for speech;

Peace that no pleasure from without,

Nor strife within, can reach.

2 Safe in thy sanctifying grace,

Almighty to restore,

Borne onward—sin and death behind,

And love and life before—

O let my soul abound in hope,

And praise thee evermore!
