"GOD HATH NOT PROMISED" God hath not promised skies always blue Flower strewn pathways all our lives through. God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way; Grace for the trails, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
