What 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.

- / -

God has not promised we shall not know

Toil and temptations, trouble and woe;

He has not told us we shall not bear

Many a burden, many a care.

-/-
God has not promised smooth roads and wide,

Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;

Never a mountain, rocky and steep,

Never a river turbid and deep.

-//-
But God has promised strength for the day,

Rest for the labour, light for the way,

Grace for the trials, help from above,

Unfailing kindness, undying love.
