Prövningar vi möta få[r], och vi ofta ej förstå[r] Herrens vägar när Han önskar att vi himlen skola [ska(ll)] nå. Sina barn Han leder här, genom sorger och besvär.

We understand His ways better up there. Up there ... . The tempter lays out traps, snares on our life's path. Our heart bleeds for every vain word and thoughtless deed here. But we have faith in the Lord God ... .
