And yet we will not murmur,
Since God Himself is just;
Although the cup is bitter,
Submissively we trust.
Christ meets us in our sorrow,
Nor will his love DEPART
There is bright tomorrow,
To gladden. each sad heart;
Oh, may we trust our Savior,
Who died that we might live,
He will forsake us never,
Oh, trust him, he IL forgive.
