First heard this more than 10 years back, shared by a dear friend when i was going through one of my rough patches as a 13 or 14 year-old. don't even remember what it was now, but it's funny how our problems always seem so big as grow up...
Beautiful poem / hymn which i was reminded of over the last couple of weeks.
(1) 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.
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
(2) 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 care.
(3) God hath not promised smooth road and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain rocky and steep,
Never a river turbid and deep.
