I groped my way in sorrow ;
In vain I sought to find
Some promise that to-morrow
Would leave all grief behind.
The morning broke in sadness,
And fiercer grew the strife,
Till every form of gladness
Passed from my wasted life.
But now, upon the ocean
Of troubled thoughts, I see
My Saviour's graceful motion-
He Cometh unto me.
The winds and waves He stilleth,
And all is calm again ;
My soul with light He fiUeth,
Like sunshine after rain.
The eye of faith is beaming
With joy sent from above ;
The rainbow cloud is streaming,
The pledge of constant love.
My loosened tongue adoreth
The greatness of His might ;
His smile alone restoreth
The darkened soul to light.
