When tri­als and temp­ta­tions
Around thee dark­ly flow,
When storms and griefs as­sail thee
To bring thy cour­age lo,
Be not dis­cour­aged, bro­ther,
But firm­ly stand and wait;
The clouds again will van­ish,
Oh, be thou not afraid!

Refrain

There is sweet rest in Heav’n,
There is sweet rest in Heav’n;
There is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest;
There is sweet rest in Heav’n.

When wa­ters of af­flict­ion
May seem to ov­er­flow,
Or through some fie­ry trial
You may be called to go,
Keep up your faith and cour­age,
The Lord will dis­si­pate
The waves that dash against thee;
Fear not, be not afraid.

Refrain

The soul that Je­sus lov­eth
He’ll chast­en and re­fine;
That like a gold­en lus­ter
It may the bright­er shine;
The dross alone will vanish,
The gold is bright­er made;
Be not dis­cour­aged, bro­ther,
Fear not, be not afraid!

Refrain
