A Consoling Thought

When our soul is much discouraged 
By the roughness of the way,
And the cross we have to carry
Seemeth heavier every day,
When some cloud, that overshadows
Hides our Father’s face from view,
Oh, ‘tis well then to remember
He hath blessed us hitherto.

Surely, then, our souls should trust Him,
Though the cloud be dark o’erhead,
We’ve a Friend that draweth nearer
When all other friends have fled.
When our pilgrimage is over,
And the gates we’re sweeping through,
We shall see with clearer vision
How He’s blessed us hitherto.
