Text: | "Distresses for Christ's sake" |
Author: | Mrs. C. Fry Wilson |
1 For what shall I praise thee, my God and my King,
For what blessings the tribute of gratitude bring?
Shall I praise thee for pleasure, for health, or for ease,
For the sunshine of youth, for the garden of peace?
2 For this I should praise; but if only for this,
I should leave half untold the donation of bliss!
I thank bless for sickness, for sorrow, and care,
For the thorns I have gathered, the anguish I bear;
3 For nights of anxiety, watching, and tears,
A present of pain, a prospective of fears;
I praise thee, I bless thee, my Lord and my God,
For the good and the evil thy hand hath bestowed!
