1. ‘Tis my happiness below, Not to live without the cross;
But the Savior’s pow’r to know,
Sanctifying ev’ry loss.
Trials must and will befall;
But, with humble faith, to see
Love inscribed upon them all–
This is happiness to me.
1-2
Words by William Cowper / Music by Louis M. Gottschalk, Arr. by Edwin P. Parker

2. Trials make the promise sweet; Trials give now life to prayer;
‘Tis My Happiness Below
Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give now life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.
