236. Sooner or Later

1 Sooner or later the wrong will be righted,
Sooner or later the wicked will fail;
Sooner or later the dark will be lighted,
Sooner or later the good will prevail.

Refrain:
Sooner or later, sooner or later,
God will make plain what is hidden from view;
Sooner or later, sooner or later,
Heaven will show us the false and the true.

2 Sooner or later the load will be lighter,
Sooner or later the struggle will cease;
Sooner or later the sky will be brighter,
Spanned by the beautiful rainbow of peace. [Refrain]

3 Sooner or later the doubts and the dangers
All will be over, forever and aye;
Sooner or later will travel-worn strangers
Enter the home at the end of the way. [Refrain]
