He's Doing the Best for Me

Oft times when in God's furnace

1 Oft times when in God's furnace,
I'm tempted to repine,
But see in all His dealings
He aims to make me shine.

Refrain:
He's doing the best for me,
To keep me happy and free.
Tho' often I'm tempted to murmur,
He's doing the best for me.

2 My faith is often staggered,
When answers come to slow;
But God doth show great mercy
Sometimes in saying "no." [Refrain]

3 It bringeth untold anguish,
When friends are torn from me;
But pruning's always needful
To make a fruitful tree. [Refrain]

4 My patience oft is tested,
'Neath tribulation's staff;
But God is only trying
To separate the chaff. [Refrain]
