THE RIFT IN THE CLOUD.

By Sarah F. Sharpe

TUNE.—“The Brown Church in the Vale.”
CHEER up, O my soul, though in darkness The black lowering clouds thee enshroud, Behind them the sun shines in brightness, And see, there's a rift in the cloud.
CHORUS.—Cheer up; why this useless repining? Why go ye with head lowly bowed? Look up; the bright light is shining Down through a rift in the cloud.
Cheer up, O my soul, though much sorrow Is caused thee by scorn of the proud; Cheer up, you may see on the morrow The light through a rift in the cloud.
CHO.—Cheer up, &c.
Oh! think of your Lord torn and bleeding, And mocked by a blood-thirsting crowd, And see, through that Lord who is pleading, Bright hopes through a rift in the cloud.
CHO.—Cheer up, &c.
Yes, cheer up and shake off thy sadness, And tell of salvation aloud, Through the truth which gives thee much gladness, And to thee is a rift in the cloud.
CHO.—Cheer up, &c.
