1. Why should a mortal man complain At his trials in this wicked world? Nay, let us thank God???s holy name For all His love o???er us unfurled. * Refrain: O Jesus, bear our souls above Each wave of trouble that we meet; Then in the furnace of Thy love We???ll sing Thy praise with joy complete! 2. Oh, why should anyone oppressed Forget the promise of our God! To thee each providence is blest If in love thou bear the chast???ning rod. 3. Oh, who would cast away the gold We???ve gathered in the furnace flame! And who would wish again the dross Here purged in our Redeemer???s name?
