God hath not promised skies always blue
Flowers strewn pathways, all our lives through
God hath not promised sun without pain
Joy without sorrow, Peace pain
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trails, help from above
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
