Rejoice in Trials: Heaven's Reward

In the furnace of our trials in the alley of our woes We find a joy not of this world one that brightly glows Though the fires rage around and the night seems so long In our trials we'll rejoice singing heaven's song Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake Every hardship tells a story every pain has its place In the tapestry of grace in the race of faith we face For the momentary trials bring an everlasting weight Of glory so profound at the heavenly estate Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake Blessed are those who endure for their crown is sure In the kingdom of heaven their place is secure Let your heart be glad for in Christ you are clad In robes of salvation no more to be sad So lift your eyes to the hills from where comes your help Rejoice in your trials for in Christ you are kelp Your reward is not here but in heaven so dear Press on dear saint with God have no fear Rejoice in trials for heaven's reward awaits Stand firm in faith as the eternal gate elates Though the tears may fall and the heart may ache Our joy is in the Lord in the path we undertake In every trial in every tear let's rejoice without fear For heaven's reward is drawing near Blessed oh blessed are those who persevere In Christ we're victorious let's give a cheer!
