Lyics

Still will we trust, tho' earth seem dark and dreary,
And the heart faint beneath his chast'ning rod;
Tho' rough and steep our pathway, worn and weary,
Still will we trust in God.


Our eyes see dimly, till by faith anointed,
And our blind choosing brings no grief and pain;
Thro' him above, who hath our way appointed,
We find our peace again.


So from our sky the night shall furl her shadows,
And day pour gladness thro' his golden gates;
Our rough path leads to flower enameled meadows,
Where joy our coming waits.


Let us press on in patient self-denial,
Accept the hardship, shrinking not from loss
Our guerdon lies beyond the hour of trial,
Our crown beyond the cross.
