Help He provideth for ev’ry need; What is unlovely He will restore; Grace all sufficient: what need we more? Verse 2: God gives for sadness “garments of praise;” Stars for our twilight, strength for our days; Hope for tomorrow, care for today, Light for our footsteps all of life’s way. Verse 3: Beauty for ashes, gladness for tears, Sunshine for darkness, faith for our fears; Peace for our turmoil, concord for strife, Heaven at last and eternal life!
