1 After the blackness of midnight, Cometh the dawning of day; After the cloud and the tempest, Sunshine drives darkness away.
Chorus: Joy is the fruit of the morning, Gloom is the offspring of night; Faith is the noblest adorning, Patiently waiting for light.
2 After the sadness of doubting, Doubting and walking by sight, Cometh the sweetness of trusting, Trusting that all will be right. [Chorus]
3 After the heart has been troubled, Torn by some deep hidden grief; Cometh the calm and the sunshine Bringing a welcome relief.
