God has not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain.
God has not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift easy travel needing no guide;
God has not promised that we shall not bear
Many a burden, Many a care.
But God has promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labour, Light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
