In days of suff’ring
- God brings rich blessing
from paths of suffering.
His choicest fruits grow in the night. - Heed not the suffering,
look to your glorious King,
for everything depends on this. - The Lord has sent it
and He’ll transform it.
O trust, the outcome will be sweet. - In night and darkness
God lets His promises
shine like the stars against the sky. - In God I’m trusting,
on His word standing;
He will fulfil it in His time. - You are my Father,
my loving Counsellor,
in every sorrow helping me. - In heaven rejoicing,
I’ll praise my suffering;
it brought me glory without end.From My Father, I Trust You by M. Basilea Schlink
