VICTORIOUS DAWNINGIn the eve of day's lasting momentsToward the sunlight's golden set, Walks a tired and lonely pilgrim With his dreams of hopes yet unmet; His face is so lined with deep furrows, And his steps seem to slow with each take For he knows not the end of the journey Nor the peril that lies in its wake, The night is fast now approaching The shadows they all tend to flee And I hear a faint heart as it's crying, "Oh Lord, please stay near to me. The road o'er which I have traveled Is stained so with heartache and tears And the darkness on me which is falling Seems more that my all yesteryears". Behold ! the night passes, ah! slowly A tinge of faint pink in the sky, And a stirring of hope in the bosom Of the tired and lone passerby. The glow in the eastern surroundings Is met with a deeper glow still For the sun in magnificent beauty Is rising from earth's ardent hill, Oh, traveler on life's fleeting highway, The darkness is yours to pass through, But as surely your sunset will happen, Your daybreak will surely come, too; For God has ordained in his planning That daytime will follow the night, And out of the darkest of trails Will come the most glorious light. WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR THE NIGHT, BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. Ps. 30.5b |
