Blessed Is He...

by Hanbury Allen | Category: General | Mar 1969

Blessed is he whose faith is not offended,

When all around his way

The power of God is working out deliverance

For others day by day.

Though in some prison drear his own soul languish,

Till life itself be spent,

Yet still can trust his Father's love and purpose,

And rest therein content.

Blessed is he, who through long years of suffering,

Cut off from active toil,

Still shares by prayer and praise the work of others,

And thus "divides the spoil".

Blessed are thou, 0 child of God, who sufferest,

And canst not understand

The reason for thy pain, yet gladly leavest

Thy life in His blest hand.

Yea, blessed art thou whose faith is not offended

By trials unexplained,

By mysteries unsolved, past understanding,

Until the goal is gained.
