1 Peter 1:8 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Just like the shepherd in Psa. 23, The Lord ever abides with his own.
When we face trials, He goes through them with us.
He will never leave us nor forsake us - Heb. 13:5;
His grace is always sufficient for every need - 2 Cor. 12:9.
This ought to cause us to be filled with joy unspeakable full of glory.
Joy Unspeakable.

I have found His grace is all complete, — He supplieth every need; — While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet, — I am free, yes, free indeed.
CHORUS:
It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, — Full of glory, full of glory; — It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, — Oh, the half has never yet been told.
I have found the pleasure I once craved, — It is joy and peace within; — What a wondrous blessing, I am saved — From the awful gulf of sin.
I have found that hope so bright and clear, — Living in the realm of grace; — Oh, the Savior’s presence is so near, — I can see His smiling face.
I have found the joy no tongue can tell, — How its waves of glory roll; — It is like a great o’erflowing well, — Springing up within my soul.
