∞∞∞ Through the trials Through the troubles Through the fire Of the fearsome rubble, Through the thick And the hurtful thin, Through the flames that burn within, Through the death of the flesh And the birth of the spirit Through the pain of bloody test And the temporal sigh of relief, Through the taste of gall- A shadow of the gnashing to come Through the taste of momentary joy- A shadow of our glorious home, Through the school of life- Authored by the Father Most High. In patience, we await His return Not as though we have our excellence, But love in grace counts us worthy. Through the grand design- The same from the beginning, Through the Love second to none, Through the blood He sheds for us: A Lamb right and pure Whose curse sealed our hope, Through the Spirit the comforter, The breath of true living, Through the one true King Whose wrath in love satisfied, Through the one true Father, Through the living bread- The same which we earthly share As we anticipate the glorious banquet, Through the gift of eternal life- We shall live and never die, Through Grace, we've been saved and brought nigh. ∞∞∞
