Minnetonka Songs ‎#38

38. Rifted Clouds

1 There’s never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears;
There’s never a life so happy
But has had its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.

Chorus:
In the sunshine or the shade, let us ever cheerful be,
Ever trusting in our Savior's boundless grace:
Soon will shadows pass away, thro' the rifted clouds we'll see
The Redeemer's smiling face.

2 There is never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There is never a path so rugged,
Bearing not the print of feet.
But we have a Helper furnished
For the trials we may meet. [Chorus]

3 There is never a way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There is always a guide to point us
To the "little wicket gate."
And the angels will be nearest
To a soul that's desolate. [Chorus]

4 There is never a heart so haughty
But will some day bow and kneel;
There is never a heart so wounded
That the Savior can not heal:
There is many a lowly forehead
Bearing now the hidden seal. [Chorus]
