Yesterday brought me woe and pain; But sunshine cometh after the rain; And the sun is good to see. The sun ariseth out of the mibt; The rose creeps over the amethyst; From the vales the shadows flee. Out of the mists of fear and doubt. Clear from the depths my soul looks out; And the new day smile3 on. me. j I stand by the golden gates of morn: My heart is filled with a hope new-born; What shall it bring to me? Pome hopes have vanished in pain and tear's; And some were lost in the crowding years; Forbid it, that this should be. For better by far than earthly gain-Better gain-Better than sunshine after rain, Is God's best gift to me. I will guard it well as a sacred trust; I will keep it free from cankering rust; Till my Father's face I see. And every storm-cloud that passes o'er Shall but leave it purer than before I To shine more radiantly, j The years will come, and the years will go; j They may bring me weal; they may bring me woe; j If th?y bring me, Lord, to thee. Rev. George Harding.' . |
