The sorrows of the daily life

Verse 1

The sorrows of the daily life,
The shadows o'er my path which fall,
Too oft obscure the glory's light
Until I rise above them all.

Verse 2

Until upon the mountain height
I stand, my God, with Thee alone,
Bathed in the fullest, clearest light,
The glory that surrounds the throne.

Verse 3

Calm in Thy secret presence, Lord,
I rest this weary soul of mine;
Feed on the fullness of Thy word,
And die to all the things of time.

Verse 4

Alone with Thee, O Master, where
The light of earthly glory dies,
Misunderstood by all, I dare
To do what Thine own heart will prize.

Verse 5

Such be my path through life down here,
One long, close, lonely walk with Thee,
Until past every doubt and fear,
Thy face in light above I see.
