Let us love Him and serve Him, rejoicing below,
As we hope to do always in heaven.
Shall we murmur at pains or at grief,
If our God be our Father and Friend?
Those pains—they can bring us but nearer to Him;
That grief—oh, how soon it will end!
What have we, as sinners, deserved?
What hath God in His graciousness given?
Let us love Him and serve Him, rejoicing below,
As we hope to do always in heaven.
