Days of Joy

 Days of Joy

Days of sadness

Days of woe

Earthly troubles and petty cares

Only better prepare us for 

Our Heavenly Home


Through the sorrow

Ever be

Lessons present

So Thy love

May I gain from Thee


Ever more,

Ever bless

May I endure all my trials

With no bitterness


And when Thou

Hast decided 

To call

Me Home…


May this life have served me well

That I might come to enjoy

Heavenly Joy
