Rejoice under Trials

Let it be all joy to you,
Each and every day through;
For that you are being blest,
With every kind of test.

Testing faith you have to know,
As you travel to and fro;
Which gives you power in hope,
So you are able to cope.

Let it have the full effect,
And never try to reject;
So you may be made complete,
And keeping yourself upbeat.

If you are without wisdom,
Do not think that you are dumb;
Call onto God your request,
And you will be freely blest.

Without any unkind word,
God responds what He has heard;
Like a snowfall out of Heaven,
Rest assured it is given.

For if you truly believe,
Then ask and you shall receive;
God remains faithful and just,
When giving your faith and trust.
