In trials faced, rejoice in heart,
Though grief may come, and tears may start.
For every sorrow, every pain,
Brings forth a faith that shall remain.

Refined like gold in fire’s embrace,
Your faith, a treasure, shows its grace.
Though unseen, yet you love Him still,
His presence felt, your soul to fill.

In every moment, trust and find
A joy in Christ, pure and refined.
Though eyes can’t see, your heart believes,
And in His promise, peace receives.

For at the end, when all is done,
Salvation’s gift through Christ is won.
A glorious joy beyond compare,
Eternal life in love’s sweet care.

1Pe 1:6  In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
1Pe 1:7  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1Pe 1:8  Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
1Pe 1:9  for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
