Oh, sigh not in sorrow for the joys that will not stay,
Nor dim all the present with the thought of coming ill;
Let no cloud of to-morrow shade the brightness of to-day.
For each cloud has its bow of promise still.
Then look where the bright sun is shining,
O'er the shadows of this weary world of strife
For each cloud has its fair, silver lining,
Praise God! there's a sunny side of life.
Though trial and toil have found a home in every land,
And care, like a phantom, haunts each earthly gleam of light;
Yet, the angel of faith will point her snowy, gentle hand,
To the realms where will come no grief nor night.
Then look where the bright sun is shining,
O'er the shadows of this weary world of strife
For each cloud has its fair, silver lining,
Praise God! there's a sunny side of life.
Each heart has its burden and its weary, weary pain,
And tears oft will gather on the smile of love and hope;
But, the tears of his children God will change to smiles again,
And pour balm in their every bitter cup.
Then look where the bright sun is shining,
O'er the shadows of this weary world of strife
For each cloud has its fair, silver lining,
Praise God! there's a sunny side of life.
