- Why should a mortal man complain
At his trials in this wicked world?
Nay, let us thank God�s holy name
For all His love o�er us unfurled.
- Refrain:
O Jesus, bear our souls above
Each wave of trouble that we meet;
Then in the furnace of Thy love
We�ll sing Thy praise with joy complete!
- Oh, why should anyone oppressed
Forget the promise of our God!
To thee each providence is blest
If in love thou bear the chast�ning rod.
- Oh, who would cast away the gold
We�ve gathered in the furnace flame!
And who would wish again the dross
Here purged in our Redeemer�s name?
