Revelation 22:16
Words: Lucia B. Cook, 1921.
Music: Indianapolis William J. Kirkpatrick, 1921 (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know where to get a good photo of Cook (head-and-shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
In every cloud of pain and loss
There is a silver lining;
Beyond the shadow of the cross
The Morning Star is shining.
Refrain
Upon my way from day to day,
With hope my path adorning,
I see afar the Morning Star,
The matchless Star of Morning.
We need the trials we must bear
Like gold that needs refining;
But, oh, there is no sorrow where
The Morning Star is shining!
Refrain
Temptations greet us day by day,
To sin our hearts inclining;
But still and bright upon our way
The Morning Star is shining.
Refrain
In yonder city, glad and free,
I’ll cease my sad repining;
How sweet to hope it is for me
The Morning Star is shining!
