Light After Darkness, Gain After Loss,
Strength After Weakness, Crown After Cross;
Sweet After Bitter, Hope After Fears,
Home After Wandering, Praise After Tears.

Now Comes The Weeping, Then The Glad Reaping;
Now Comes The Labor Hard, Then The Reward.

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.
