Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 113 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:2 First Line: Light after darkness Lyrics: 1 Light after darkness,
Gain after loss,
Strength after weariness,
Crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter,
Song after sigh,
Home after wandering,
Praise after cry.
Chorus:
Now comes the weeping,
Then the glad reaping;
Now comes the labor hard,
Then the reward.
2 Sheaves after sowing
Sun after rain,
Sight after mystery,
Peace after pain;
Joy after sorrow,
Calm after blast,
Rest after weariness,
Sweet rest at last. [Chorus]
3 Near after distant,
Gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness,
Life after tomb;
Dark though the pathway
Leading to this,
After the agony,
Rapture of bliss. [Chorus] Topics: Special Department Bible Songs Used With Tune: CROWN AFTER CROSS
