The Day Without a Cloud

Author: Rev. A. H. Ackley Hymnal: Favorites Number 4 #73 (1956) First Line: The clouds of grief overshadow Lyrics: 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] Languages: English Tune Title: [The clouds of grief overshadow]
