My Pain - Worth My Eternal Gain

My days are full of grief and sorrow,
But I know the Lord my Saviour
Will bring me a better tomorrow,
Because He loves me dearly,
More than I can comprehend;
He died for me on Calvary’s tree
And shed His precious blood for me.
So now by faith I can draw near
To Jesus who’s a friend so dear;
He’ll help me in my times of fear
And also in my times of cheer.
Now I wait for Him to draw nigh
And come for me in a cloudless sky
To take me to His home on high;
What a moment that will be!
Then I’ll see His precious face,
His visage marred, His body scarred,
And then I’ll think of all my pain
And say it’s worth my eternal gain.
