O I am glad and satisfied

1.
O I am glad and satisfied
In Him who strengthens me,
By faith that He His work will do—
In me ’twill finished be.
How can I doubt or anxious be?
“I am the Truth,” He said.
He tells me that He’s numbered all
The hairs upon my head.
2.
Each single trial upon our way
Is weighed with greatest care;
And every outcome has been planned,
That all things we can bear.
Though Satan and the hosts of hell
Should try to drag us down,
Our God will make it so for us
That we shall win the crown.
