Chorus: Consider it pure joy When you face trials, trials of many kinds (joy, joy) Consider it pure joy Know that the tests of your faith Can make you steadfast, patient and wise (joy, joy) Perseverance must finish its work (joy, joy) That you may be complete Not lacking anything Consider it pure joy When you face the many trials of life (joy, joy) Trials of life (joy, joy) Blessed is the man Who endures trials again and again When he has stood the test He will receive the best The crown of life which God has promised To those who love Him Be patient as you wait for God's return Like the farmer waits for rain For his harvest to confirm Take courage and persevere For the coming of our Lord is near Repeat Chorus Pure joy (joy, joy) As an example of suffering and patience Look at the prophets who spoke in God's name We know how happy they were Because they stayed true to God Even though they suffered great pain Job is an example of steadfast trust Bringin' joy in God's master plan The Lord is tender and merciful (merciful) Compassionate to all men Consider it pure joy Consider it pure joy Consider it pure joy Consider it pure joy Consider it pure joy When you're feelin' lonely When your heart is way down When your friends forsake you And you feel alone Repeat Chorus When you face the many trials of life, pure joy (joy, joy) Consider it pure joy
