The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#122

122. The Clouds Will Clear Away

1 There’s a golden ray thro’ the falling rain,
For the sun will shine again;
There’s a streak of blue thro’ the misty gray,
For the clouds will clear away.

Refrain:
O the clouds will clear away, by and by,
And the sunbeams flood the sky;
Look up to heav’n with a trustful eye,
For the clouds will clear away, by and by.

2 Let a song of joy cheer the darkened hours;
‘Mid the briars look for flow’rs;
Let the heart be strong in the Lord today,
For the clouds will clear away. [Refrain]

3 We will sweetly rest in the tender love
Of the King who reigns above;
If we trust his care, and his word obey,
Soon the clouds will clear away. [Refrain]

4 Far beyond the blue there’s a home of peace,
Where the stormy winds will cease;
In the fadeless glow of that perfect day
All the clouds will clear away. [Refrain]
