lyrics

We journey through a vale of tears
By many a cloud overcast
And worldly cares and worldly fears
Go with us to the last
"Not to the last" Your Word has said
If we could read aright
"Poor Pilgrim, lift in hope your head
At eve it shall be light"

Though earthborn shadows now may shroud
Your thorny path a while
God's blessed Word can part each cloud
And bid the sunshine smile
Only believe, in living faith
His love and power divine
And though your sun shall set in death
His light shall round you shine

When tempest clouds are dark on high
His 'bow of love and peace
Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky
A pledge that storms shall cease
Hold on your way, with hope unchilled
By faith and not by sight
And you will own His word fulfilled
"At eve it shall be light"
At eve it shall be light,
at eve it shall be light
