Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.
2 Cor. 6:10.
We will not weep, for God is standing by us,
And tears will blind us to the blesséd sight;
We will not doubt, if darkness still doth try us:
Our souls have promise of serenest light.
2 We will not faint, if heavy burdens bend us;
They press no harder than our souls can bear;
The thorniest way is lying still behind us;
We shall be braver for the past despair.
3 O not in doubt shall be our journey’s ending:
