for Father
by Henry

Written Dec 16th 1868
[u]He doeth All things well[/u]
1 He doeth all things well, ah yes!
In sorrows hour 'tis [u]sweet[/u] to feel,
That He who hath all power to bless,
Is Ever doing all things well.

2 But my poor faith is sometimes weak,
When trouble's waves around me swell,
And slow to hear the promise speak,
Of Him who doeth all things well.

3 For darkness [u]sometimes[/u] shades the light,
E'en when I [u]know[/u] that all is well;
Clouds [u]sometimes[/u] veil the Sun through bright
then falling tears [--the--] my [?herdEns?] tell.

4 But soon the clouds have passed away
the bow of promise [?smiles?] on high
"Strength shall be Ever as thy day"
then Every falling tearing is dry.

5 [u]For all is well I know 'tis so,[/u]
the God who guards the [u]sparrows[/u] flight
Will never let [u]us[/u] sink so low
As not to see some promise bright.

6 Too long his arm my weary head
Has [?borne?] above affliction's waves
For me to doubt the love He 's said
He gives the children who [?he saves?]
7 Glad then my heart this truth declare
Far as thy voice hath [illegible] to tell
With watchless love and tender care
He Ever doeth all things well.

为父亲
通过亨利

写于 1868 年 12 月 16 日
他把所有的事情都做好
1 他凡事都做得很好,是的!
在悲伤的时刻感觉很甜蜜,
那位全权祝福的主,
是不是把所有的事情都做得很好。

2 但我可怜的信心有时软弱无力,
当我周围的麻烦波涛汹涌,
慢慢听到应许说话,
凡事都做好的那一位。

3 因为黑暗有时遮蔽了光明,
E'en 当我知道一切都好;
云有时会透过明亮的阳光遮住太阳
然后流下我的负担告诉我的眼泪。

4 但不久乌云散去
诺言之弓在高处微笑
“力量将永远如你的一天”
然后每一滴眼泪都是干的。

5 因为一切都很好,我知道是这样,
守护麻雀飞行的神
永远不会让我们沉得如此之低
至于不看一些许光明。

6 他的手臂太长我疲倦的头
经受住了苦难的波澜
让 我 怀疑 他 说 的 爱
他给了他拯救的孩子们
7 很高兴我的心宣告这个真理
只要你的声音[难以辨认]告诉
带着无眼的爱和温柔的关怀
他凡事都做得很好。
