Somewhere Beyond the Cloud

Representative Text

1 Sometimes the storms are beating and skies are rob’d in gray,
The sunbeams hide their beauty nor cheer the dreary day;
But faith sees untold glory and lifts the soul that’s bow’d,
The sun is always shining somewhere, somewhere beyond the cloud.

Refrain:
Somewhere beyond the shadows, somewhere beyond the gloom
The birds are sweetly singing and blossoms waft perfume;
Lift up the voice in gladness and shout for joy aloud,
The sun is always shining somewhere, somewhere beyond the cloud.

2 There’s glory in the tempest there’s music in the rain,
The flowers bend beneath them but rise, refresh’d again,
Then seek the silver lining tho’ storms of grief enshroud,
The sun is always shining somewhere, somewhere beyond the cloud. [Refrain]

3 There’s comfort for the weary and hope for the oppress’d,
Each day the goal is nearer that living love has bless’d,
Sweet peace shall rule where terror has reign’d a monarch proud,
The sun is always shining somewhere, somewhere beyond the cloud. [Refrain]
