Rejoice in God alway
1
Rejoice in God alway;When earth looks heavenly bright,When joy makes glad the livelong day,And peace shuts in the night.
2
Rejoice when care and woeThe fainting soul oppress;When tears at wakeful midnight flow,And morn brings heaviness.
3
Rejoice in hope and fear;Rejoice in life and death;Rejoice when threatening storms are near,And comfort languisheth.
4
So, though our path is steep,And many a tempest lowers,Our Father will our footsteps keep,And his dear love be ours.
