Tune: | [Do you for the vict'ry long] |
Composer: | A. F. Barnard |
1 Do you the vict’ry long,
When you’re passing thro’ the fire?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy.
And to lead you into wrong
All the hosts of hell conspire?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy.
Refrain:
Count it all joy,
Count it all joy;
Whatever befalls you,
Count it all joy.
2 Are your trials coming fast,
Your afflictions great and sore?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy,
Does it seem that hope is past
AS upon you troubles pour?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy. [Refrain]
3 Would you magnify the Lord,
When your sky is overcast?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy.
Trusting in his precious word
Till the darkness all is past,
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy. [Refrain]
4 Would you reign with him on high
When your toils on earth are done,
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy,
Where you’ll never faint or sigh,
For the battle’s fought and won?
Count it all joy, yes, count it all joy. [Refrain]
