Author: A. F. Barnard Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Do you for the vict’ry long Refrain First Line: Count it all joy, count it all joy Lyrics: 1 Do you for 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] Used With Tune: [Do you for the vict’ry long] Text Sources: Truth in Song by Barney E. Warren, Andrew L. Byers, Clarance E. Hunter, Daniel O. Teasley (Anderson, Ind: Gospel Trumpet Comany, 1907)
