Text:I thank Thee, Savior! for the grief

425. I thank Thee, Savior! for the grief

I thank Thee, Savior! for the grief,
Thy goodness bids me bear,
And for each word of sweet relief,
That saves me from despair.

2 I see but dimly all Thy ways,
Nor may each purpose tell,
But this I know to wake my praise:
Thou doest all things well.

3 The way of life is by the cross,
The glowing fires along,
Which serve to purge away the dross
And make the spirit strong.

4 To me, O Lord! Thy grace impart
Each trial to abide,
And ever let my bleeding heart
Cling to Thy bleeding side.
