Beyond the smiling and the weeping,Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come!

Thus while I journey on, my Lord to meet,I can forget the sorrows of the way.

How fast we learn in the day of sorrow! Scripture shines out in a new effulgence; every verse seems to contain a sunbeam, every promise stands out in illuminated splendor; things hard to be understood become in a moment plain.
