I've found a joy in sorrow,


A secret balm for pain,
A beautiful to-morrow
Of sunshine after rain ;
I've found a branch of healing
Near every bitter spring,
A whispered promise stealing
O'er every broken string.

For every woe

A handful of sweet manna
When
grapes of Eshcol fail;
I've found a Rock

When
desert wells are dry ;
And, after weary stages,
I've found an Elim nigh.
Elim with its coolness,

Its fountains,

From
All offences purge away ;
Give His angelscharge at last,
In the fire the tares to cast ;
But the fruitful ears to store,
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quicklycome,
To Thy final harvest-home
;
Gather Thou
Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin ;
There, for ever purified,
to abide :
In Thy presence
with all Thine angels,come,
Come
Raise the gloriousharvest-home.
