God never moves without purpose or plan When trying His servant and molding a man Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long In darkness He giveth a song O Rejoice in the Lord He makes no mistake He knoweth the end of each path that I take For when I am tried And purified I shall come forth as gold I could not see through the shadows ahead So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead I bowed to the will of the Master that day Then peace came and tears fled away Now I can see testing comes from above God strengthens His children and purges in love My Father knows best, and I trust in His care Through purging more fruit I will bear O Rejoice in the Lord He makes no mistake He knoweth the end of each path that I take For when I am tried And purified I shall come forth I shall come forth I shall come forth as gold
