STRENGTH FOR  THE DAY

God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.

God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe.

He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the laborer, Light for the way.

Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing sympathy, undying Love.
