| 1. I see God’s sun
behind earth’s clouds,
Heav’n’s blue beyond earth’s grey;
The gleaming of the jasper walls
Across earth’s dusty way:
God’s light above
the dark’ning mists,
God’s calm amidst the strife;
Bright currents of
God’s sweetest peace
In darkest seas of life.
2. I see my Father’s smile of love
Light up earth’s dreariest frowns;
Fair stars for heaven diadems
Shine round earth’s
thorniest crowns;
Betwixt my heart and aught of harm
That sin or sorrow brings,
I see the Everlasting Arms—
The shadow of His wings.
3. I see the glory from the cross,
Like morning’s crimson ray,
Touch from afar earth’s night of sin,
And bright’ning into day:
I see, like sunshine ev’rywhere,
God’s goodness, mercy, grace;
And for the rest, I trust His love
Until I see His face.
