Today we languish
In grief and anguish;
But earthly sorrow
Shall fade tomorrow;
After the storm the sun shines bright;
When mine eyes grow dimmer and sadder,
Pour Thy Light into my heart;
That I may pass gladder
Than men to their homes depart;
Sweet peace and pleasure,
In unbounded measure;
We know are given,
In the Gardens of Heaven;
Thither my hopes yearn day and night.
