Let not one day appear without its tender dawn,
Nor night draw nigh but somewhere shines a star.
What if long winter cover earth,
The waiting heart shall know
Its promised spring cannot remain afar.
No grain of faith can fail to sing its harvest song,
Nor seed of hope to yield its opening flower.
Who lifts expectant heart and trusts
God's constant care must find
Joyous fulfillment there—such is Love's power.
