73. The Day Without a Cloud

1 The clouds of grief o’ershadow
The sky of time and sense,
The path grows dark before us,
And fills us with suspense,
But tho’ life’s fairest morning
Be covered with a shroud,
We’ll see in heaven’s dawning
The day without a cloud.

Refrain:
The day without a cloud,
The day without a cloud;
Sometime, somewhere, we too,
Shall share Gods’ perfect day, without a cloud.

2 The grief that overtakes us
Shall one day pass away,
The troubles that distress us
Shall last but for a day;
Our soul so worn and weary,
With perfect life endowed,
Shall greet in God’s great morning
The day without a cloud. [Refrain]

3 The faces not forgotten
Shall smile as oft before,
And voices long since silenced
Shall greet us as of yore,
And with the ransomed chorus
We’ll sing of Christ aloud,
Thanks be to God who gave us
The day without a cloud. [Refrain]
