1 When the trials of life seem to crush us by their weight,
When the evil rise against us ev’rywhere;
With the help of the Lord we shall triumph in the end,
If we cast on him our ev’ry care.

Refrain:
Then thanks be unto God,
Who causeth us to triumph in the name of Christ, our King,
Yes, thanks be unto God,
Unto him let all their praises bring.

2 Tho’ the tempter so subtle may try to lead astray,
All his wisdom is but folly to the Lord;
Even Jesus, our Savior, will show to us the way,
Yes, ’tis written in his holy word. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ our life may be gloomy and dangers threat’ning rise,
With the hosts of evil constant we contend;
For the promise is given and we shall never fear,
He will crown us victors in the end. [Refrain]
