God is the strength of my heart.
Psalm 73:26.
Happy are they who learn in thee,
Though patient suffering teach,
The secret of enduring strength,
And praise too deep for speech;
Peace that no pleasure from without,
Nor strife within, can reach.
2 Safe in thy sanctifying grace,
Almighty to restore,
Borne onward—sin and death behind,
And love and life before—
O let my soul abound in hope,
And praise thee evermore!
