"God hath not promised

"Skies always blue ....

"God hath not promised

"Sun without rain,

"Joy without sorrow,

"Peace without pain."

Found this as poem and song on google search.
Thank you, Dakota, for the sweet share.

"What God Hath Promised"

Words: An­nie J. Flint, 1919.

Music: Will­iam M. Run­yan, 1919 (MI­DI, score).


Refrain:

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.

Refrain

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

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.

Refrain

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep.

Refrain

gassho,

Beau
