BETTER DAYS ARE DAWNING

Courage, mother, though your children stray
Far from paths of love and peace away.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Better days are dawning; joy will come at last
God will hear and answer, as in ages past.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Cease not praying, sad, disheartened wife,
For the one that’s dearer far than life.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Better days are dawning; joy will come at last
God will hear and answer, as in ages past.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Weary sufferer, through long hours of pain,
By you stands the Comforter again.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Better days are dawning; joy will come at last
God will hear and answer, as in ages past.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

All who falter ’neath a load of care,
Christ will aid, your heavy burdens share.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.

Better days are dawning; joy will come at last
God will hear and answer, as in ages past.
Work on, pray on, though the sky’s o’ercast;
Better days are dawning, and joy will come at last.
