Light after darkness

Light after darkness

Gain after loss

Strength after weakness

Crown after cross;

Sweet after bitter

Hope after fears

Home after wand’ring

Praise after tears.

Sheaves after sowing

Sun after rain

Sight after mystery

Peace after pain;

Joy after sorrow

Calm after blast

Rest after weariness

Sweet rest at last.

Near after distant

Gleam after gloom

Love after loneliness

Life after tomb;

After long agony

Rapture of bliss

Right was the pathway

Leading to this.
