Hymn/Song Information

Though the fig tree shall not blossom

Though the fig tree
shall not blossom,
Neither fruit be in the vine:
Though in vain the olive labors,
And the fruitful fields decline:

I will rejoice in the Lord,
my Redeemer,
Joyful I’ll trust Him,
for He will provide,
Giving me all that I need
for my journey;
I will not fear,
for He walks by my side.

Though no flocks
are in the sheepfold,
Neither cattle in the stalls:
Though the earth is filled with famine,
And no rain from heaven falls:

I will rejoice in the Lord,
my Redeemer,
Joyful I’ll trust Him,
for He will provide,
Giving me all that I need
for my journey;
I will not fear,
for He walks by my side.

Though my path lies
through the valley
Of the shadows, He is near,
For His rod and staff they comfort,
And no evil I shall fear.

I will rejoice in the Lord,
my Redeemer,
Joyful I’ll trust Him,
for He will provide,
Giving me all that I need
for my journey;
I will not fear,
for He walks by my side.

Though my friends
should not receive Him,
Or through sin should prove untrue:
Though the wicked should entice me,
And should persecute me, too:

I will rejoice in the Lord,
my Redeemer,
Joyful I’ll trust Him,
for He will provide,
Giving me all that I need
for my journey;
I will not fear,
for He walks by my side.
