Though dark thy way, still sing and
praise:
Sometime, sometime, we’ll understand.
We’ll catch the broken threads again.
And finish what we here began;
Heaven will the mysteries explain. 1
Ah then, ah then, we'll understand.
We’ll know why clouds instead ol tun
Were over many a cherished plan; I
Why song has ceased when scarce

Tis there, sometime, we’ll understand.
Why what we long tor most of all. I
Eludes so oft our eager hand:
Why hopes are crushed and caatles fall.
Up there, sometime, we’ll understand.:
God knows the way. He holds the key. I
He guides us with unerring hand:
Sometime with tearless eyes we’ll §ee: j
