I see God�s sun
behind earth�s clouds,
Heav�n�s blue beyond earth�s grey;
The gleaming of the jasper walls
Across earth�s dusty way:
God�s light above
the dark�ning mists,
God�s calm amidst the strife;
Bright currents of
God�s sweetest peace
In darkest seas of life.
I see my Father�s smile of love
Light up earth�s dreariest frowns;
Fair stars for heaven diadems
Shine round earth�s
thorniest crowns;
Betwixt my heart and aught of harm
That sin or sorrow brings,
I see the Everlasting Arms�
The shadow of His wings.
I see the glory from the cross,
Like morning�s crimson ray,
Touch from afar earth�s night of sin,
And bright�ning into day:
I see, like sunshine ev�rywhere,
God�s goodness, mercy, grace;
And for the rest, I trust His love
Until I see His face.
