Lyrics & Stanzas
4 portions
Verse 1
After the midnight, morning will greet us; After the sadness joy will appear; After the tempest, sunlight will meet us; After the jeering, praise we shall hear.
Verse 2
After the battle, peace will be given; After the weeping, song there will be; After the journey there will be heaven, Burdens will fall and we shall be free.
Verse 3
Shadows and sunshine all thru the story, Teardrops and pleasure, day after day; But when we reach the kingdom of glory, Trials of earth will vanish away.
Chorus
After the shadows, there will be sunshine; After the frown, the soul-cheering smile; Cling to the Savior, love Him forever; All will be well in a little while.
