\nWhen trying His servant and molding a man.
\nGive thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;
\nIn darkness He giveth a song.<\/p>\n
\n He makes no mistake,<\/strong>
\n He knoweth the end of each path that I take,<\/strong>
\n For when I am tried<\/strong>
\n And purified,<\/strong>
\n I shall come forth as gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nSo I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
\nI bowed to the will of the Master that day;
\nThen peace came and tears fled away.<\/p>\n
\nGod strengthens His children and purges in love.
\nMy Father knows best, and I trust in His care;
\nThrough purging more fruit I will bear.<\/p>\n
\n He makes no mistake,<\/strong>
\n He knoweth the end of each path that I take,<\/strong>
\n For when I am tried<\/strong>
\n And purified,<\/strong>
\n I shall come forth as gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n
