Keep in heart, be ev­er pa­tient,
There’s a light be­hind the cloud;
Be not gloomy or dis­cour­aged,
Let not mists your soul en­shroud.

Refrain

Oh, be pa­tient, ev­er pa­tient,
When life’s cares around you crowd;
Oh, be pa­tient, ev­er pa­tient:
There’s a light be­hind the cloud.

You re­mem­ber Christ had tri­als
That were ma­ny and were sore;
And you may be on­ly pass­ing
O’er the ground He trod be­fore.

Refrain

You can rift the cloud with sun­shine
If your heart is glad with­in,
And make bright­er paths to tra­vel
If you pray­er­ful­ly be­gin.

Refrain

All the light of life eter­nal,
That has shone the ag­es through,
Still ex­ists, and is but wait­ing
To il­lum­in­ate the true.

Refrain
