1 There will come a time in life,
When the world seems dark and drear,
When your sor­rows are so ma­ny,
And the world won’t seem to care;
Turn aside from pain and grief,
Turn to Je­sus for relief,
And He’ll make the sun
Shine bright­ly thro’ the gloom.

Refrain:
Yes, He’ll make the sun
Shine bright­ly thro’ the gloom,
If you’ll op­en up your heart
And give Him room.
Just re­mem­ber, He’s your friend,
And on Him you can de­pend,
And He’ll make the sun
Shine bright­ly thro’ the gloom.

2 When your loved ones leave this earth,
And your hopes are rent in twain,
When you feel al­most dis­cour­aged,
And you think you live in vain;
Put your trust in Christ so dear,
For you’ll find He’s al­ways near,
And He’ll make the sun
Shine bright­ly thro’ the gloom. [Refrain]

3 Let us put our trust in Christ,
And our faith in Him re­new,
In His serv­ice never fal­ter,
But we’ll l­abor and be true;
Soon our work­ing will be past,
We shall see His face at last,
Then He’ll make the sun
Shine bright­ly thro’ the gloom. [Refrain]
