Why should I, in vain repining,
Mourn the clouds that cross my way ;
Since my Saviour's Presence shining
Turns my darkness into day ?
Earthly honour, earthly treasure,
All the warmest passions win,
And the silken wings of pleasure
Only waft us on to sin.
But, within the vale of sorrow,
All with tempests overblown,
Purer light and joy we borrow
From the face of God alone.
Welcome, then, each darker token!
Mercy sent it from above !
So the heart, subdued, not broken,
Bends in fear, and melts with love.
