Crowning Glory No. 1 ‎#117

117. In Everything Give Thanks

1 Give thanks in the night of thy sorrow,
Rejoice in thy portion of pain,
There dawneth a brighter tomorrow,
Thy loss shall bring infinite gain,

Chorus:
Give thanks unto God and be joyful,
Whatever may daily befall,
Rejoice in the Lord, thy Redeemer,
Who ruleth supreme over all.

2 Rejoice in a finished salvation,
A covenant ordered and sure,
Oh! dread not the hour of temptation,
For "blessed are they that endure." [Chorus]

3 In all the fair days of clear shining
Look up to the source of thy light;
When comforts and hopes are declining,
Rejoice in the strength of his might. [Chorus]

4 No evil can ever betide us,
If God be our help and our shield,
The Love that redeemed us, will guide us,
And mercy shall still be revealed. [Chorus]
