What God Hath Promised

God hath not promised skies always blue,
   Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
   Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

God hath not promised we shall not know
   Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
   Many a burden, many a care,

But God hath promised strength for the day,
   Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
   Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
