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