God has Promised

God has not promised Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God has not promised Sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain.

But He has promised Strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer,
Light on the way,
Grace for the trial,
help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
