God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathway
All our lived through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God nath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trails,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love.
