John S. B. Monsell • English

Soon and forever, the breaking of day Shall drive all the night-clouds of sorrow away; Soon and forever we’ll see as we’re seen, And learn the deep meaning of things that have been.

Verse 2

Soon and forever, the soldier lays down His sword for a harp, and his cross for a crown; Droop not in sorrow, despond not in fear, A glorious tomorrow is bright’ning and clear.

Soon and forever, the warfare of sin, our fighting without and our conflict within, Trial, temptation, and sorrow, shall cease, And Jesus shall gather His children in peace.
