Sometime when all life's lessons have been learned,

And sun and moon forevermore have set,

The things that our weak judgments here have spurned,

The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet,

Will flash before us, out of life's dark night,

As stars shine most in deepest tints of blue,

And we shall see how all God's ways were right,

And how what seemed reproof was love most true.
