Tho’ the fig tree shall not blossom,
Neither fruit be in the vine,
Yet I will rejoice in Jesus,
Son of man, and yet divine.
Refrain:
"Yet I will rejoice, rejoice in the Lord,"
Yet I will rejoice in his blessed word,
Yet I will rejoice, rejoice in the Lord,
Will joy in the God of my salvation.
Tho’ the olive labor faileth,
And the fields shall yield no meat,
Yet I will rejoice in Jesus,
Find my needs in him complete.
Tho’ the flock may be unfolded,
And no herd be in the stall,
Yet I will rejoice in Jesus,
Praising him my all in all.
Tho’ the tempter may assail me,
Yet the Spirit’s sword is nigh,
Burnished brightly for the conflict,
Worn upon the victor’s thigh.
