O Lord! How Happy Should We Be (EN 5668)

EN 5668 O Lord! How Happy Should We Be

1Pet.5.7

Versi Version 1

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!
