After the Midnight

After the mid­night

morn­ing will greet us;

After the sad­ness

joy will ap­pear;

After the tem­pest

sun­light will meet us;

After the jeer­ing

praise we shall hear.

After the sha­dows

there will be sun­shine;

After the frown

the soul-cheer­ing smile;

Cling to the Sav­ior

love Him for­ev­er;

All will be well in a lit­tle while.

After the bat­tle

peace will be giv­en;

After the weep­ing

song there will be;

After the jour­ney there will be Heav­en

Burdens will fall and we shall be free.

Shadows and sun­shine all thro’ the sto­ry

Teardrops and plea­sure

day af­ter day;

But when we reach the king­dom of glo­ry

Trials of earth will van­ish away.
