When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging
seems all uphill,
When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
And you want to smile,
but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit...
By all means pray, and don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt.
You never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems afar.
So trust in the Lord
when you're harders hit...
It's when things go wrong,
that you must not quit!
