Some Day

Some day all doubt and mystery 

Will be made clear;

The threatened clouds which now we see

Will disappear.

Some day what seems a punishment,

Or loss, or pain,

Will prove to be God’s blessing, sent

For very gain.

Some day our weary feet will rest

In sweet content;

And we will know how we are blessed

By what was sent;

And looking back, with clearer eyes,

Will see with wondering, glad surprise

God’s perfect plan;

And knowing that the way we went

Was God’s own way,

Will understand His wise intent

Some day—some day.
