Some day, when our faith is stronger,
 We shall clasp the Father's hand,
Questioning His love no longer,
 Though we may not understand
    Why He says, Nay,
    Instead of Yea;
His reasons we shall know some day.

Some day, at life's closing chapter,
 The veil will slip from our eyes,
And we'll find, not here—hereafter,
 The clue to life's mysteries;
    Sorrow and pain
    We shall count gain
When God has made His meaning plain.

Yes! there in the light up yonder
 Where the deathless lilies bloom,
We shall gaze in silent wonder
 At our lives in the Master's loom;
    And we shall see
    How wondrously
He's woven all in harmony.
