I’ve found a joy in sorrow,
a secret balm for pain,
A beautiful tomorrow
of sunshine after rain;
I’ve found a branch of healing
near every bitter spring;
|:A whispered promise stealing
o’er every broken string.:|
I’ve found a glad hosanna
for every woe and wail;
A handful of sweet manna
when grapes of Eschol fail;
I’ve found a Rock of Ages
when desert wells are dry;
|:And, after weary stages,
I’ve found an Elim nigh.:|
An Elim with its coolness,
its fountains, and its shade;
A blessing in its fullness,
when buds of promise fade;
O’er tears of soft contrition
I’ve seen a rainbow light,
|:A glory and fruition,
so near! yet out of sight.:|
My Savior, Thee possessing,
I have the joy, the balm,
The healing and the blessing,
the sunshine and the psalm;
The promise for the fearful,
the Elim for the faint,
|:The rainbow for the tearful,
the glory for the saint!:|
