Author: John Kent Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Covenant Divine First Line: What cheering words are these Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these;
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time, and to eternal days,
"'Tis with the righteous well!"
2 Well when they see his face,
Or sink amidst the flood;
Well in affliction's thorny maze,
Or on the mount with God.
3 'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow,
'Tis well when darkness vails the skies,
And strong temptations grow.
4 'Tis well when Jesus calls,--
"From earth and sin arise,
To join the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise!" Used With Tune: LUTHER
"It is well"
