Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #182 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prayer in affliction Lyrics: I cannot call affliction sweet, And yet 'twas good to bear: Affliction brought me to Thy feet, And I found comfort there.

Those vanish'd, like the morning cloud, These like the early dew. 185 Lord, grant me grace for every day, Whate'er my state may be, Through life, in death, with truth to say, "My God is all to me!"
