And now and then a balmy air
Will float with soft perfume,
And lovely blossoms, here and there,
Will bless you with their bloom:
Will float with soft perfume,
And lovely blossoms, here and there,
Will bless you with their bloom:
But if the clouds should hide the sky,
And blinding rain should fall,
Remember, God is always nigh,
And Heaven is over all!
And blinding rain should fall,
Remember, God is always nigh,
And Heaven is over all!
low—now, while yet in Childhood's bower,
With that wild way in view,
Oh! put your little hand in His,
And He will lead you through!
With that wild way in view,
Oh! put your little hand in His,
And He will lead you through!
For if, with pure and patient heart,
With firm resolve and high,
You tread the path appointed, love,
And pass Temptation by,
With firm resolve and high,
You tread the path appointed, love,
And pass Temptation by,
A fairer home than Childhood's home,
A fonder love then ours,
Await you at your journey's end,
In Heaven's own balmy bowers.
A fonder love then ours,
Await you at your journey's end,
In Heaven's own balmy bowers.
