In God's Own Time

Verse 1

If o’er thy way dark clouds are cast, Look up with faith till they are past, The sun will surely shine at last, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Chorus

Then do not fear, though dark the night; But rise on wings of faith sublime, For ev’rything will come out right, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Verse 2

Hast thou pray’d long and fervently, And yet no answer came to thee? Thy pray’r will sometime answer’d be, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Verse 3

Look up with joy, nor longer weep, Thy God will ev’ry promise keep, And thou wilt yet the harvest reap, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Verse 4

Tho’ thro’ the glass thou cans’t not see, And wonder why some things must be, Yet thou wilt know each mystery, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Verse 5

And would’st thou be forever blest? Just trust in God and do thy best, Then thou shalt enter into rest, In God’s own time, in God’s own time.
