Grief, nor pain, nor any sorrow Rends thy heart, to Him unknown, He today and He tomorrow Grace sufficient gives His own.

Holy strivings nerve and strengthen, Long endurance wins the crown; When the ev’ning shadows lengthen, Thou shalt lay thy burden down.

Grief, nor pain, nor any sorrow Rends thy heart, to Him unknown, He today and He tomorrow Grace sufficient gives His own.
