雪與陽光下

神未曾應許  天色常藍  人生的旅途  花香常漫
神未曾應許  常晴無雨  常樂無痛苦  常安無虞
God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

神未曾應許  我們不遇  苦難的試探  懊惱憂慮
神未曾應許  我們不負  許多的重擔  許多事務
God hath not promised we shall not know,
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear,
Many a burden, many a bear.

神卻曾應許  生活有力  行路有亮光  做工得息
試煉得恩助  危難有賴  無限的體諒  不死的愛
But God hath promised strengh for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trails, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

-Annie Johnson Flint, What God Hath Promised-
