| Text: | There Shall Come a Brighter Day |
| Author: | Harriet E. Jones |
| Tune: | [Do the clouds oft veil your sky] |
| Composer: | Chs. K. Langley |
1 Do the clouds oft veil your sky,
As the toilsome days go by?
Labor on—wait, watch, and pray,
There shall come a brighter day!
Refrain:
Yes, there shall come a brighter day,
All the teardrops wiped away,
Harp and crown and white array,
There shall come a brighter day!
2 Do the waves of sorrow toss?
Do you meet with pain and loss?
Cling to Christ, trust and obey—
There shall come a brighter day! [Refrain]
3 Do the chast’nings seem severe?
Does your path way seem most drear?
Bear your cross without dismay—
There shall come a brighter day! [Refrain]
4 Trust in God, who knoweth best
Why the sorrow and unrest;
Love and trust Him, tho’ He slay—
There shall come a brighter day! [Refrain]
