| Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory unto their children. (Psa. 90:15‑16) |
| The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children. (Psa. 103:17) |
Affliction is but for a moment,
But after its purpose is wrought,
The blessing will go on forever,
The fruit that the trial has brought. |
Yes, gladness can come through affliction,
And joy out of sorrow is born;
The night may be heavy with weeping,
But happiness comes in the morn. |
