O Lord! How Happy Should We Be

Author: Joseph Anstice Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5092 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Lord! how happy should we be, If we could leave our cares to Thee, If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2. How far from this our daily life How oft disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden wild alarms; Oh, could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On Thy almighty arms 3. Could we but kneel and cast our care Upon our God in humble prayer, With strengthened souls we rise, Sure that our Father who is nigh, To hear the ravens when they cry, Will hear His children’s cries. 4. We cannot trust Him as we should; So chafes weak nature’s restless mood To cast its peace away; But birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach Sufficient for the day. 5. Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lessons learn from birds and flowers, And learn from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father’s will, And taste, before Him lying still E’en in affliction, peace! Languages: English Tune Title: MERIBAH

O LORD! how happy should we be

Author: J. Austice Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #137 (1873) Lyrics: 1 O LORD! how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on Thee-- If we from self could rest; And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. 2 How far from this our daily life! Ever disturbed by anxious strife, By sudden, wild alarms; Oh could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall On thy Almighty arms! 3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer-- Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry, Will hear, in that we fear! 4 We can not trust him as we should, So chafes fall'n nature's restless mood To cast its peace away; Yet birds and flowerets round us preach, All, all the present evil teach, Sufficient for the day. 5 Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours Such lesson learn from birds and flowers; Make them from self to cease; Leave all things to a Father's will, And taste, before him lying still, E'en in affliction, peace.
