Rejoice, My Heart, Be Glad and Sing

1 Rejoice, my heart, be glad and sing, A cheerful trust maintain; For God, the Source of everything, Thy Portion shall remain.

2 He is thy Treasure, He thy Joy, Thy Life and Light and Lord, Thy Counselor when doubts annoy, Thy Shield and great Reward.

3 Why spend the day in blank despair, In restless thought the night? On thy Creator cast thy care; He makes thy burdens light.

4 Did not His love and truth and pow'r Watch o'er thy childhood day? Has He not oft in threat'ning hour Turned dreaded ills away?

5 His wisdom never plans in vain, Ne'er falters or mistakes; All that His counsels did ordain A happy ending makes.
