GOD HATH NOT PROMISED SKIES ALWAYS BLUE
1. God hath not
promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn
pathways all our lives thro';
God hath not
promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
peace without pain.
Refrain
But God hath
promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
light for the way,
Grace for the
trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness,
undying love.
2. God hath not
promised we shall not know
Toil and
temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us
we shall not bear
Many a burden, many
a care.
3. God hath not
promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel,
needing no guide;
Never a mountain,
rocky and steep,
Never a river,
turbid and deep.
