After the darkest hour The morning draweth nigh ; After the tempest's power, The clear blue sky.
2. After the drifting snow, The sunny days of calm ; After the crushing blow, God's healing balm.
3. After the sad good-bye New friends around us throng ; After the burdened sigh, The sweetest song.
4. After the cross of tears, The crown of joy is given; After earth's weary years, The rest of heaven.
