Hymn: Rejoice in the Lord

Title:Rejoice in the Lord

God never moves without purpose or plan

When trying His servant and molding a man. 

Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long; 

In darkness He giveth a song. 

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. 

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.

My pastor sang this hymn last Sunday. Thought I would post it here.
