In God’s Own Time

On some sweet day

in time to come

Our wrongs will then be right­ed

And peace and joy will vis­it us

Both wel­come guests in­vit­ed.

Yes

some sweet day

in God’s own time

We’ll nev­er know a sor­row;

For peace and joy will reign su­preme

In God’s own time

to­mor­row.

The dawn of day will bring no pain

The ev­en­ing shades no sor­row

For love will reign in hearts of men

In God’s own time

to­mor­row.

When death shall close these wea­ry orbs

And spir­its soar to Heav­en

In gaz­ing back we’ll mar­vel at

The mer­cy God hath given.

We’ll won­der why we doubt­ed Him

Why oft we mur­mured sad­ly

The bur­dens then will seem so light

We’ll wish we’d borne them glad­ly.

The things that now seem mys­ter­ies

We’ll un­der­stand all clear­ly;

Then how we’ll wish with all our hearts

We’d loved Him far more dear­ly.
