Clear shining after rain

Representative Text

1 Tho’ clouds be dark and storms arise,
And life seems all in vain;
Soon will appear within the skies,
Clear shining after rain.

Refrain:
Then trust Him till His blessed face you see
And shout this glad refrain;
The light will break and there will be,
Clear shining after rain.

2 Tho’ tempests wild thy path enshroud,
Fear not the darkest night;
For God is back of ev’ry cloud,
And where He is is light. [Refrain]

3 From sorrow there will be release,
And rest from ev’ry pain;
For God will send with His sweet peace,
“Clear shining after rain.” [Refrain]

4 So never fear, whate’er befall,
Be steadfast, brave and true;
For God is good, and over all
His love is shining thro’. [Refrain]
