Thou'lt find in him, in evil days,

Thy all-sufficient strength and guide.

Who trusts in God's unchanging love

Builds on the rock that naught can move.

What can these anxious cares avail,

The never-ceasing moans and sighs?

What can it help us to bewail

Each painful moment as it flies?

Our cross and trials do but press

The heavier for our bitterness.
