1 For all the past,
With stars o’ercast,
Thy name, O God, I praise;
For promised joy
Without alloy
Thro’ all these hopeful days.
Refrain:
Because all grief
Shall find relief
Thro’ Thy abounding love;
And ev’ry cross
That comes with loss
Predicts a crown above.
2 For all I’ve gained,
By grace obtained,
Thy name, O God, I praise;
For pleasant hours
‘Mid blooming flow’rs;
Thro’ all these happy days. [Refrain]
3 For doing good
To whom I could,
Thy name, O God, I praise;
For doing right,
In Jesus’ sight,
Thro’ all these busy days. [Refrain]
4 For all I’ve lost,
Whate’er the cost,
Thy name, O God, I praise;
For sorrow’s night,
Stars out of sight,
Thro’ all these gloomy days. [Refrain]
