Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined #230 (1922) First Line: There's a light on clouds of sadness Refrain First Line: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! He has pardoned all Lyrics: 1 There’s a light on clouds of sadness, And a rose for ev’ry thorn, When the Lord is near, giving songs of cheer, Till our hearts no longer mourn; There’s a gleam of heav’nly gladness, Tho’ all other lights should fail, When we know the love of the King above, Love that ever shall prevail. Refrain: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! He has pardoned all our sin; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! There’s abiding peace within; We are happy in our Saviour, And rejoicing in His love; hallelujah! Hallelujah To our blessed Friend above! 2 WE will bridge the vale of sorrow With the promises of God; Words so strong and sure evermore endure, Spreading hope and cheer abroad; And we know the bright tomorrow Will outshine the noonday sun; For the Lord of light drives away the night, While eternal ages run. [Refrain] 3 Let us gladden pathways lonely With a radiance from the sky; Let the smiling face be a means of grace, To the weary passerby; WE will live for Jesus only, And His joy our strength shall be; Till we meet at last, ev’ry trial past, Where His beauty we shall see.
