'Tis My Happiness Below

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 259 hymnals First Line: ’Tis my happiness below Lyrics: 1 ’Tis my happiness below Not to live without the cross, But the Savior’s power to know, Sanctifying every loss; Trials must and will befall, But with humble faith to see Love inscribed upon them all, This is happiness to me. 2 God, in Israel, sows the seeds, Of affliction, pain and toil; These spring up, and choke the weeds Which would else o’erspread the soil; Trials make the promise sweet, Trials give new life to prayer; Trials bring me to His feet, Lay me low, and keep me there. 3 Did I meet no trials here, No chastisement by the way, Might I not, with reason, fear I should prove a castaway? Bastards may escape the rod, Sunk in earthly, vain delight; But the true born child of God, Must not, would not, if he might. Used With Tune: MADRID Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 3

Forward then with courage go, Long we shall not dwell below; Soon the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!" 2 In the way a thousand snares Lie, to take us unawares; Satan, with malicious art, Watches each unguarded part: But, from Satan’s malice free, Saints shall soon victorious be; Soon the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!" 3 But, of all the foes we meet, None so oft mislead our feet, None betray us into sin, Like the foes that dwell within. Yet let nothing spoil your peace, Christ will also conquer these; Then the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!"
