Light after darkness, gain after loss Strength after weakness, crown after cross Sweet after bitter, hope after fears Home after wandering, praise after tears Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain Sight after mystery, peace after pain Joy after sorrow, calm after blast Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last
Give me the hope for tomorrow Give me the strength for today You are the promise of peace On my pathway to faith Near after distant, gleam after gloom Love after loneliness, life after tomb After the agony, rapture of bliss Glory awaits beyond the abyss
