Author: A. C. Hulse Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #160b (1885) First Line: After the blackness of midnight Refrain First Line: Joy is the fruit of the morning Lyrics: 1 After the blackness of midnight,
Cometh the dawning of day;
After the cloud and the tempest,
Sunshine drives darkness away.
Chorus:
Joy is the fruit of the morning,
Gloom is the offspring of night;
Faith is the noblest adorning,
Patiently waiting for light.
2 After the sadness of doubting,
Doubting and walking by sight,
Cometh the sweetness of trusting,
Trusting that all will be right. [Chorus]
3 After the heart has been troubled,
Torn by some deep hidden grief;
Cometh the calm and the sunshine
Bringing a welcome relief. [Chorus]
