" BUT IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT AT EVENING TIME IT SHALL BE LIGHT " ZECH XIV 7.
W E journey through a vale of tears,
By many a cloud o'ercast;
And worldly cares, and worldly fears,
Go with us to the last!
Not to the last — Thy word hath said,
Could we but read aright:
Poor pilgrim! lift in hope thy head;
At eve there shall be light.
Though earth-born shadows now may shroud
Thy thorny path awhile;
God's blessed word can rend each cloud,
And bid the sunshine smile:
Only believe, in living faith,
His love and power Divine,
And, ere life's sun shall set in death,
His light shall round thee shine.
When tempest-clouds are dark on high,
His bow of love and peace
Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,
Betokening storms shall cease!
Walk on thy way, with hope unchill'd,
By faith, and not by sight:
So shalt thou own his word fulfill'd,
At eve it shall be light.
