1. Blessed words for evil day:
This, this, too, will pass away!
Weeping for a night endures;
Joy the morning light ensures.
Refrain:
Rejoice (Be joyful) in the Lord! (in the Lord alway!)
Rejoice (Be joyful) in the Lord! (in the Lord alway!)
For weeping may endure for a night, (For a night,)
But joy cometh in the morning.
2. Bravely hope, aspire, endure;
God’s own counsel standeth sure,
Ev’ry day of fortune’s frown
Hastens joy with robe and crown.
3. Speeds the hour when tears and pain
I can never know again,
Trustful, to this truth I cling;
Raptured, I this grace shall sing.
4. Blessed words for evil day:
This, this, too, will pass away!
Weeping for a night endures;
Joy the morning light ensures.
