CONSOLATION

There is never a day so dreary

But God can make it Bright,

And unto the soul that trust Him,

He givieth songs in the night.

There is never a path so hidden,

If we seek for the Spirit’s guidance

And patiently wait and pray.

There is never a cross so heavy,

But the nail-scarred hands are there

Outstretched in tender compassion

The burden to help us bear.

There is never a heart so broken,

But the loving Lord can heal.

The heart that was pierced on Calvary

Doth still for his loved ones feel.

There is never a life so darkened,

So hopeless and unblessed,

But may be filled with the light of God

And enter His promised rest.

There is never a care or loss,

But that we may bring to Jesus

And leave at the foot of the cross.
