19. Every Grief Shall Pass Away

1 What if here my path is shadowed,
And the skies are dark and gray?
In the light of heaven’s glory,
Every grief shall pass away.

Refrain:
There shall be no sighing there,
In the realm of endless day;
In the light of heaven’s glory,
Every grief shall pass away.

2 What tho’ here alone I wander,
Often homeless, often sad?
Over there are joys eternal,
Ever more to make me glad. [Refrain]

3 What tho’ here each day my bring me,
Bitter trials to endure?
There no more they’ll be remembered,
By life’s crystal waters pure. [Refrain]

4 Safe at last, what will it matter,
If the way was long and drear?
There eternal joys shall greet us,
And eternal light and cheer. [Refrain]
