Through Fiery Trials With God

 

What shall I learn from God

  through fiery trials today,

As side by side He walks with me

  along life's rugged way?

He never fails—not even

  in the darkest hour.

I know my Lord is nigh—

  I feel His power.Today I thank Him

  for His love and grace.

In perfect peace, the future

  I can face.

He knows of each new need

  before "The Day"

And lovingly my Saviour

  plans my earthly way.

As day by day I feed

  upon God's word,

I learn my step is "ordered

  of the Lord".

So also every "stop" is just

  another step to test,

And prove to me one fact—

  God's way is always best.

I only want whatever

  God has planned.

So all is well, He holds me

  in His hand.

So I can trust Him now

  to lead aright,

As I walk on with Him

  through faith—not sight.

Then through this fiery trial

  What does my Saviour say?

Perhaps just this, be still

  my child, lean hard and pray.

Today I learned anew to answer:

  "Lord Thy way is best"

Now help me to be still—

  Lean hard—and pray and rest.
