1. What Cheering Words are These?
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and in eternity
'Tis with the righteous well.

2. In ev'ry state secure
Kept by Jehovah's eye
'Tis well with them while life endures,
And well when called to die.

3. 'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow;
'Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.

4. 'Tis well when on the mount
They feast on saving love;
And 'tus as well in God's account
When they the furnace prove.

5. 'Tis well when at his throne
They wrestle, weep, and pray;
'Tis well when at his feet they groan,
Yet bring their wants away.
