I’m think­ing of the days gone by
And many scenes re­call,
Which to me then seemed hard to bear,
But God was in them all.
I know the tri­als which have come,
Tho’ then not un­der­stood,
Have to me many bless­ings brought,
And worked out for my good.

Refrain

All things work to­ge­ther for good
To those who love the Lord,
All things work to­ge­ther for good
To those who love the Lord;
All things work to­ge­ther for good
To those who love the Lord,
All things work to­ge­ther for good
To those who love the Lord.

God sees along our rug­ged way
And knows what is the best,
Altho’ some­times the path seems rough,
This tho’t shall be my rest.
Lord, Thou canst see my ev­ery step,
My times are in Thy hand;
I know Thou do­est all things well,
Tho’ hard to un­der­stand.

Refrain

The star of hope the wise men led
Where their Re­deem­er lay;
So God still leads us by His love,
And guides us all the way.
They safe­ly thro’ the Red Sea passed,
His chos­en Is­ra­el band;
So now His love is oft re­vealed,
I oft can feel His hand.

Refrain

His cloud of glo­ry led by day,
His cloud of fire by night;
The tri­als that seemed hard and wrong,
I now can see were right.
Then help me, Lord, to ev­er know
All things for good shall be,
If I while here Thy way do keep,
And trust my all to Thee.

Refrain
