In trouble and in grief, O God

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #631 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In trouble and in grief, O God, Thy smile hath cheered my way; And joy hath budded from each thorn That round my footsteps lay. 2 The hours of pain have yielded good Which prosperous days refused; As herbs, though scentless when entire, Spread fragrance when they're bruised. 3 The oak strikes deeper as its boughs By furious blasts are driven; So life's tempestuous storms the more Have fixed my heart in heaven. 4 All-gracious Lord, whate'er my lot In other times may be, I'll welcome still the heaviest grief That brings me near to thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; It is Good that I have been Afflicted

Anonymous

Author of "In trouble and in grief, O God" in A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion. (10th ed.) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
