Light After Darkness Lyrics

Light after darkness, gain after loss

Strength after weakness, crown after cross

Sweet after bitter, hope after fears

Home after wandering, praise after tears

Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain

Sight after mystery, peace after pain

Joy after sorrow, calm after blast

Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last

Now comes the weeping

Then the glad reaping

Now comes the labor hard

Then the great reward

Near after distant, gleam after gloom

Love after loneliness, life after tomb

After long agony rapture of bliss

Right was the pathway leading to this

Now comes the weeping

Then the glad reaping

Now comes the tears and scars

After the grieving

We'll join the grand feasting

Now comes the labor hard

Then the great reward

Now comes the weeping

Then the glad reaping

Now comes the tears and scars

And after the grieving

We'll join the grand feasting

Now comes the labor hard

Then the great reward
