What God Has Promised

Author: Annie J. Flint Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:4 First Line: God has not promised skies always blue Refrain First Line: But God has promised strength for the day Lyrics: 1. God has not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God has not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. Refrain: But God has promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing kindness, undying love. 2. God has not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe; He has not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. 3. God has not promised smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel, needing no guide; Never a mountain rocky and steep, Never a river turbid and deep. Used With Tune: GOD'S PROMISE

And grow it shall, our glorious sun will brighter rays afford: the Lord has yet more light and truth to break forth from his word. 3 O Father, Son, and Spirit, send us increase from above; enlarge, expand all living souls to comprehend your love; and make us all go on to know, with nobler powers conferred, that you have yet more light and truth to break forth from your word.

And not more tremblingly adore, And not more humbly pray! 4 The more I triumph in thy gifts, The more I wait on thee; The grace that mightily uplifts, Most sweetly humbleth me. 5 The heaven where I would stand complete My lowly love shall see, And stronger grow the yearning sweet, My holy One! for thee.

Lyrics: 1 How brightly beams the morning star! What sudden radiance from afar doth glad us with its shining? Brightness of God, that breaks our night and fills the darkened souls with light, who long for truth were pining. Newly, truly, God's Word feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing. Praise, oh praise such love o'erflowing. 2 All praise the One who come to save, who conquered death and scorned the grave; each day new praise resoundeth; the Truth, the Life who once was slain, the Friend whom none shall trust in vain, with grace for aye aboundeth. Sing then; ring then; tell the story filled with glory, till these praises flood with light earth's darkest places.
