| Worry so | B |
| What we've missed of calm we couldn't | A |
| Have you know | B |
| What we've met of stormy pain | C |
| And of sorrow's driving rain | C |
| We can better meet again | D |
| If it blow | B |
| - | |
| We have erred in that dark hour | E |
| We have known | F |
| When our tears fell with the shower | E |
| All alone | F |

| As the gracious Master meant | A |
| Let us temper our content | A |
| With His own | F |

| For we know not every morrow | B |
| Can be sad | A |
| So forgetting all the sorrow | B |
| We have had | A |
| Let us fold away our fears | G |
| And put by our foolish tears | H |
| And through all the coming years | G |
| Just be glad | A |
