Through trials and tribulations
His mercy, grace sustains
In storm clouds and darkest night
He brings the gentle rains
Through many tribulations
of fire, sea, and sod
towards gates of greatest splendor
to Kingdom we must trod
Through many perturbations
of heart, and spirit, soul
with faces down, and hands held up
His glory stay our goal
Like Bunyan's pilgrim Christian
we 'midst Apollyon's lair
the precious face of Jesus
are bid to fix our stare
Endured the cross, despised its shame
our gentle Savior hung
copious blood and righteousness
alone our victory won
And though the world and devil
rage and bare their teeth
My Savior and His cross have won
the victor's crown and wreath
