Though Deepening Trials

 


The composer was George Careless, 1839-1932


                                                                The text by Eliza R. Snow 1804-1887







1. Though deep'ning trials throng your way, Press on, press on, ye Saints of God! Ere long the                    resurrection day Will spread its life and truth abroad, Will spread its life and truth abroad

2. Though outward ills await us here, The time, at longest is not long  Ere Jesus Christ will reappear,           Surrounded by a glorious throng, Surrounded by a glorious throng,

3. Lift up your hearts in praise to God; Let your rejoicings never cease. Though tribulations rage                abroad, Christ says, "In me ye shall have peace."  Christ says, "In me ye shall have peace." 

4. What though our rights have been assailed? What though by foes we’ve been despoiled? Jehovah’s         promise has not failed; Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled. Jehovah’s purpose is not foiled. 

5. This work is moving on apace, And great events are rolling forth; The kingdom of the latter days,            The “little stone,” must fill the earth. The “little stone,” must fill the earth. 

6. Though Satan rage, ’tis all in vain; The words the ancient prophet spoke Sure as the throne of God           remain; Nor men nor devils can revoke. Nor men nor devils can revoke. 

7. All glory to his holy name Who sends his faithful servants forth To prove the nations, to proclaim            Salvation’s tidings through the earth. Salvation’s tidings through the earth. 


Doctrine and Covenants 58:2–4

For verily I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, whether in life or in death; and he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.

Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.

For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.

John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
