He'll Take You Through

Author: James V. Reid Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: In the midst of joy and blessing Refrain First Line: He’ll take you through, however you’re tried Lyrics: 1. In the midst of joy and blessing, And when all the way seems bright, Clouds may come which seem distressing, And they may obscure the light; Though you weep at night with sorrow, And the gloom oppresses you, Joy is sure to come tomorrow, He’ll take you thro', He’ll take you through. Refrain: He’ll take you through, however you’re tried; His tender care is never denied, Then always trust His promise so true, He’ll take you through, He’ll take you through. 2. It may seem God does not hear you, And withholds the gift you seek, Then just learn to trust His silence When the Father does not speak; Let your heart new courage borrow, For His promises are true, He’ll reward your faith tomorrow, He’ll take you thro', He’ll take you through. 3. Think not strange of fiery trial, Which is sent your faith to try, Tho' it mean great self denial To live for Him, or to die, Count it joy to share Christ’s sorrow, Gladness then will come to you, For there’s sure a bright tomorrow, He’ll take you thro', He’ll take you through. 4. When affliction is upon you, You may say, as Job of old, “When He’s tested, when He’s tried me, I shall then come forth as gold”; Then take courage in your sorrow, Cease your sighs, let tears be few, Just remember on the morrow, He’ll take you thro', He’ll take you through. 5. Then, O brother, never waver, Even tho' in prison cast, Tho' you lose all worldly favor, You will gain a crown at last; And when trials all have ended, If to Jesus you’ve been true, Then the pearly gates will open, He’ll take you thro', He’ll take you through.

Day by Day

Author: Karolina W. Sandell-Berg; Andrew L. Skoog Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Day by day, and with each passing moment Lyrics: 1. Day by day, and with each passing moment, Strength I find, to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure Gives unto each day what He deems best— Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest. 2. Every day, the Lord Himself is near me With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me, He Whose Name is Counselor and Pow’r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made. 3. Help me then in every tribulation, So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation, Offered me within Thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take as from a father’s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till I reach the promised land. Used With Tune: BLOTT EN DAG
