Just to be happy in Jesus,
And meet every fear with faith’s song;
This is my daily commission,
Though everything seems to go wrong.
Just to be restful in Jesus,
Though often with thorns I am tried;
Quietly in Him confiding,
Content, since with Him I abide.
Just to be hopeful in Jesus,
When sorrows and troubles abound;
Sharing with others the gladness,
The joy in the Lord I have found.
Just to be thankful for all things,
This is the Father’s sweet will;
Knowing that all works together,
God’s purpose in me to fulfill.
