All's Right

Representative Text

1 O never despair at the troubles of life,
All's right!
Amidst all anxiety, peril, and strife,
All's right!
O trustfulness, cheerfulness, never were wrong,
I'll make it my glory, my strength and my song,
All ever and ever is right!
All ever and ever is right!

2 The pilot beside us is steering us still,
All's right!
The Father above us is guarding from ill.
All's right!
I will not go trembling in fear to the end,
But trustful and cheerful, on him I depend.
All ever and ever is right!
All ever and ever is right!
