| 1 Blessed be God for all, For all things here below; For pain, and grief, and joy, and thrall, To my advantage grow. 2 Blessed be God for shame, For slander and disgrace, Welcome reproach for Jesus' name, Like flint, Lord set my face. 3 Blessed be God for loss, For loss of earthly things; For every scourge and every cross Me nearer Jesus brings. 4 Blessed be God for want, For want of health and food; I live by faith and scorn to faint, For all things work for good, 5 Blessed be God for pain, Which tears my flesh like thorns; It crucifies my carnal mind, To God my soul returns. 6 Blessed be God for doubts, Which he hath overcome; My soul in full assurance shouts, Of being soon at home. 7 Blessed be God for fears, Of sin and death and hell; When Christ who is my life appears, In glory I shall dwell. 8 Blessed be God for friends, Blessed be God for foes, Blessed be God whose gracious ends, No finite creature knows. 9 Blessed be God for life, Blessed be God for death, Blessed be God for joy and grief, I welcome all through faith. | Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs: selected and original, designed for the use of the Church Universal in public and private devotion #CCCXIX (1792) Divine Hymns, or Spiritual Songs: for the Use of Religious Assemblies and Private Christians (7th Ed.
