Say, mother, why do people weep
Why are we not all happy then
Hymnal: Linden Harp #127 (1855) Hymnal Title: Linden Harp First Line: Say, mother, why do people weep Lyrics: 1 Say, mother, why do people weep,
With grief and sorrow prest?
Do they not know that God will keep,
And rule all for the best?
Chorus:
Why are we not all happy then,
And feel that we are blest?
We know we have a Father God,
Who does all for the best.
2 While thou, my mother, art so kind,
Obeying God's behest,
And he so kind to leave me thee,
I'll trust all's for the best. [Chorus]
3 Yet e'en thou should'st leave the world,
Like father, and the rest,
The Lord will take me up and show
That all is for the best. [Chorus]
4 Tho' troubles should assail us hard,
And all our patience test:
Yet afterwards we see they were
Directed for the best. [Chorus]
5 Yes, over all our Father sees,
He's present, east and west;
He guides our steps, protects our ways,
And always for the best. [Chorus]
6 Then, mother, weep no more, but pray
For faith to fill your breast;
To think, as I have heard you say,
God ruleth for the best. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: ALL FOR THE BEST
Why are we not all happy then
