In days of suff’ring

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