169. It really is not difficult

1 It really is not difficult A blessed man to be; We trust the Lord with good result, And live in Him so free. 2 Then one is neither slave nor lord But just a happy child, Becomes more blessed as he gives His life to Him so mild. 3 We labor with a good design, In good and bad repute, Like as a tree in proper time Brings forth its flow’r and fruit. 4 We do not view our labor as A task that we must do; The Lord in us at all time has Done what He asks to do. 5 One gladly yields to His good care In everything while here, Is happy always, everywhere, As long as God is near. 6 So blessed is a trusting child, So rich in love and rest; And if we’re thus not satisfied, We’ll nevermore be blest.
