Author: M. Loy Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #277 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I thank Thee, Savior, for the grief
Thy goodness bids me bear,
And for each word of sweet relief,
That saves me from despair.
2 I see but dimly all Thy ways,
Nor may each purpose tell,
But this I know to wake my praise:
Thou doest all things well.
3 The way of life is by the cross,
The glowing fires along,
Which serve to purge away the dross
And make the spirit strong.
4 To me, O Lord, Thy grace impart,
Each trial to abide,
And ever let my fainting heart
Find refuge at Thy side.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: MANOAH
