Laudes Domini ‎#862

862. "All things are ours"

1 All things are ours; how abundant the treasure,
All riches which heaven or earth can afford!
Oh, may our thanks, like his grace, without measure,
Abound to the glory and praise of our Lord!

2 All things are ours; be it sickness or healing,
'Tis ordered alike for our infinite good;
Determined by grace, and for ever revealing
This truth, that we love and are loved of our God.

3 All things are ours; though the body may perish,
We faint not to feel it fast wasting away;
The soul its bright visions of glory will cherish,
And strengthen in holiness day after day.

4 All things are ours; yea, the present affliction,
Though now through the gloom of mortality viewed;
For soon shall we join in the blissful conviction,
That thus it was good to be tried and subdued.

5 All things are ours; thro' the Saviour's great merit,
The same of his cross, which must needs be our own,
Will brighten the glory that circles the spirit,
And sparkles like gems in our heavenly crown.
