Promised

God hath not promised
skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
all our lives through;
God hath not promised
sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
peace without pain.

But God hath promised
strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
undying love.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we
Forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever.
Amen
