What cheer­ing words are these!
Their sweet­ness who can tell?
In time and to eter­ni­ty,
’Tis with the right­eous well;
In time and to eter­ni­ty,
’Tis with the right­eous well.

In ev­ery state se­cure,
Kept by Je­ho­vah’s eye,
’Tis well with them while life en­dures,
And well when called to die;
’Tis well with them while life en­dures,
And well when called to die.

’Tis well when joys arise,
’Tis well when sor­rows bow,
’Tis well when dark­ness veils the skies,
And strong temp­ta­tions blow;
’Tis well when dark­ness veils the skies,
And strong temp­ta­tions blow.

’Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dy­ing love,
And ’tis as well in God’s ac­count,
When they the fur­nace prove;
And ’tis as well in God’s ac­count,
When they the fur­nace prove.
