GODS WAY is BEST.

This blessed truth long have known,
So soothing in its hopeful tune,
Whate' or our trials, cares and woes, uV
Our Fathers mercy freely flows, r
That on His bosom we may rest,
For God is good. His way is best. =
Trouble without and grief within
Are the sure heritage of sin;
And O. en- affections s voice may die,
In the last quivering, grasping sigh:
But what though death our souls distress.
'Twere better thus, Gods way is best.
Misfortune's dark and bitter blight
May fall upon as like the night.
Our souls with anguish may be torn RH
When we are called DER friends TO mourn;
But what assurance doubly blest,.
To feel that all Gods ways are best"
Yes, glorious thought. in yonder sky
Are joys supreme that never die;
Then when our earthly course is run.
Well live in regions of the sun,
And there upon the Saviour's breast,
Well sing for aye, "God's way is BEST"
