Lift Thy Face to the Light!

Is thy heart op­pressed with sor­row?

Lift thy face to the light;

Dost thou dread a dark to­mor­row?

Lift thy face to the light.

Still it shines un­fail­ing­ly

Just be­yond the clouds for thee

Love’s clear light

so full and free

Lift thy face to the light.

Lift thy face to the light

Lift thy face to the light

Soon all clouds will pass away

Soon will dawn the per­fect day

Lift thy face to the light!

When thy dear­est hopes shall fail thee

Lift thy face to the light;

When temp­ta­tions strong as­sail thee

Lift thy face to the light.

Closer cling when sha­dows fall

God is with thee thro’ them all

He will hear thy faint­est call

Lift thy face to the light.

Thro’ life’s sun and sha­dow sing­ing

Lift thy face to the light;

In thy heart God’s prais­es ring­ing

Lift thy face to the light.

Other lives with grief bowed low

From thine own may catch the glow

Learn love’s full­est peace to know

Lift thy face to the light.
