Consider it joy, whenever you face
trials that test your faith, hardships that lead to grace
Consider it joy, to know your own need
for there in the Savior’s care, in weakness may rest secure
For He is good, and His mercy endures
Upon the rising sun, His word is sent forth
and He will keep your soul through its darkest night
and He will lead you into His light
Consider it gain, whenever you lose
confidence in your way, to know you have gone astray
Consider it gain, to lose your own life
for then to be wholly known, held ever as Christ’s own
For He is good, and His mercy endures
Upon the rising sun, His word is sent forth
and He will keep your soul through its darkest night
and He will lead you into His light
Consider the shame, born for your own sake
for there on that cursed hill, at great cost he suffered still
Consider the shame, but bear it no more.
Christ holds the very cure for your own sin-sick soul
