1. Re- joice, my heart, be glad and sing, A cheer- ful trust main- tain; For God, the Source of ev- ery- thing, Thy Por- tion shall re- main.

2. He is thy Trea- sure, He thy Joy, Thy Life and Light and Lord, Thy Coun- se- lor when doubts an- noy, Thy Shield and great Re- ward.

3. Why spend the day in blank des- pair, In rest- less thought the night? On thy Cre- a- tor cast thy care; He makes thy bur- dens light.

4. Did not His love and truth and pow'r Watch o'er thy child- hood day? Has He not oft in threat- 'ning hour Turned dread- ed ills a- way?

5. His wis- dom nev- er plans in vain, Ne'er fal- ters or mis- takes; All that His coun- sels did or- dain A hap- py end- ing makes.
