O Rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end
of each path that I take

For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold

I could not see
through the shadows ahead
So I looked at the cross
of my Savior instead

I bowed to the will
of the Master that day
Then peace came and tears fled away


Now I can see
testing comes from above
God strengthens His children
 and purges in love

My Father knows best
and I trust in His care
Through purging more fruit I will bear
