A Light Behind the Cloud

Keep in heart

be ev­er pa­tient

There’s a light be­hind the cloud;

Be not gloomy or dis­cour­aged

Let not mists your soul en­shroud.

Oh

be pa­tient

ev­er pa­tient

When life’s cares around you crowd;

Oh

be pa­tient

ev­er pa­tient:

There’s a light be­hind the cloud.

You re­mem­ber Christ had tri­als

That were ma­ny and were sore;

And you may be on­ly pass­ing

O’er the ground He trod be­fore.

You can rift the cloud with sun­shine

If your heart is glad with­in

And make bright­er paths to tra­vel

If you pray­er­ful­ly be­gin.

All the light of life eter­nal

That has shone the ag­es through

Still ex­ists

and is but wait­ing

To il­lum­in­ate the true.
