Hymnal: New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined #160 (1922) First Line: Tho' your path be lone and weary Refrain First Line: See the rainbow of God's promise in the sky Lyrics: 1 Tho’ your path be lone and weary, As you walk the narrow way, And you’re tempted to turn back, tho’ hard you try; There is not a day so dreary, But you’ll see a shining ray, From the rainbow of God’s promise in the sky. Refrain: See the rainbow of God’s promise in the sky, Ev’ry cloud will vanish bye and bye; Far the storms you need not fear, Ev’ry ill will disappear, See the rainbow of God’s promise in the sky. 2 Keep your heart fix’d on His promise, As you battle ‘gainst the wrong, There’s a brighter day, ‘tis coming bye and bye; You will find there is no other, Who can fill your heart with song, Trust in God, and see His rainbow in the sky. [Refrain] 3 See His rainbow when in sorrow, See His rainbow when you’re sad, Trust the Father with your troubles, He is night; Never fear about the morrow, He will fill your heart with song, Just look up and see His rainbow in the sky. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tho' your path be lone and weary]
