When I can trust my all with GodIn trial's fearful hour,I'll bow, resigned, beneath his rod,And bless his saving power.

2

O, to be brought to Jesus' feet,Though sorrows fix me there,Is still a privilege most sweet,For he will hear my prayer.

3

Then blessed be the hand that gave,Still blessed when it takes;Blessed be He who smites to save,Who heals the heart he breaks.

Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
