Promise.
There are clouds beyond, There is sunshine and calm,
There is pain here below, But for each pain there is a balm.
There is death and then rest, For our Father who is wise,
Has prepared us a place — A home in the skies.
Then bide ye the time,
Our Father has given, We will meet them again,
In His mansions in heaven.
