“Consider it all joy, my brothers, and sisters, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

LORD, when we encounter trials,
As joy may this be counted.
When trials come our way, LORD.
By Your grace be they surmounted.

Alone, we can do nothing.
This we know to be true.
But with You we find glory,
In all we say and think and do.

So let us cling to You, LORD.
To truth and faith may we adhere.
Grant us all true wisdom,
Grant us grace to persevere.

And grant to all our loved ones.
The grace to cling to You.
To turn to You in trials,
In all they say and think and do.
