We do not lose heart, though on the outside
We're wasting away
For inside, we are being renewed
Day by day
And though man would seek, to silence and to slander what
What we preach
We can't help but speak, of His wonder
And His majesty
And what we see in part
Is enough to carry us
Till' we see your face
And this light and momentary
Affliction is preparing
For us an eternal
Weight of glory
So through joy
And through despairing
And all that's temporary
We endure the night
For joy comes in the morning
We will not lose hope, though we are beaten and reviled
For your name
We will rejoice, counted worthy
Of this suffering
And what we see in part
Is enough to carry us
Till' we see your face
And this light and momentary
Affliction is preparing
For us an eternal
Weight of glory
So through joy
And through despairing
And all that's temporary
We endure the night
For joy comes in the morning
We look to you, to bring us through
The fire, purified
The old is gone, the new has come
My life is hid in Christ
