After the Darkest Hour

Verse 1

After the darkest hour The morning draweth nigh; After the tempest’s power, The clear blue sky.

After the drifting snow, The sunny days of calm; After the crushing blow, God’s healing balm.

Verse 3

After the sad good-bye New friends around us throng; After the burden’d sigh, The sweetest song.

After the cross of tears, The crown of joy is given; After earth’s weary years, The rest of heav’n.
