Lyics Neath the clouds the sun is shining.
Where the golden streets are laid;
And for me bright hope is twining
Shining wreaths that never fade.
Would that this could ever cheer me,
Through this lonely vale of tears,
When the fiend Despair is near me,
With his dark foreboding fears.
Tho' with grief the heartstrings quiver,
As we journey here below,
Yet we'll walk beside the river
Where eternal waters flow.
Here tho' rudest notes are singing
With a music drear and lone,
There the golden harps are ringing,
Luring us impatient on.
Tho' we oft forget to trust thee,
Gracious Lord, and thou so near,
Yet thy love is ever ready
To remove the falling tear.
