- 1What cheering words are these!
- Their sweetness who can tell!
- In time and to eternal days,
- "’Tis with the righteous well."
- 2In every state secure,
- Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
- ’Tis well with them while life endure,
- And well when called to die.
- 3’Tis well when joys arise;
- ’Tis well when sorrows flow;
- ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
- And strong temptations blow.
- 4’Tis well when on the mount
- They feast on dying Love:
- And ’tis as well in God’s account,
- When they the furnace prove.
- 5'Tis well when Jesus calls:
- "From earth and sin arise;
- Join with the hosts of ransomed souls,
- Made to salvation wise."
- 6Amen.
