God hath not promised

[hevenly_angel03]

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,

Flowers-strewn pathways

All our lives through;

God hath not promised

Sun without rain

Joy without sorrow,

Peace without pain

God hath not promised

We shall not know

Toil and temptation,

Trouble and woe;

He hath not told us

We shall not bear

Many a burden,

Many a care.

But God hath promised

Strength for the day,

Rest for the laborer,

Light for the way,

Grace for the trials,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy,

Undying love.
