About this Hymn
This hymn was written in 2005 for a study on the book of James. Written in an almost pentatonic manner, it can be sung in many styles and touches on many of the themes in which our trials are most poignant (e.g., at night and in tired seasons), then turns to the victory of the cross and the hope of heaven as a galvanizing message.
Lyrics
Verse 1
When trials come, no longer fear, for in the pain our God draws near to fire a faith worth more than gold, and there his faithfulness is told; and there his faithfulness is told.
Verse 2
Within the night, I know your peace; the Breath of God brings strength to me and new each morning mercy flows, as treasures of the darkness grow; as treasures of the darkness grow.
Verse 3
I turn to wisdom not my own, for ev'ry battle you have known. My confidence will rest in you; your love endures, your ways are good; your love endures, your ways are good.
Verse 4
When I am weary with the cost, I see the triumph of the cross. So in its shadow I shall run, till you complete the work begun; till you complete the work begun.
Verse 5
One day all things will be made new; I'll see the hope you've called me to, and in your kingdom paved with gold, I'll praise your faithfulness of old; I'll praise your faithfulness of old.
