Somehow, Sometime, Somewhere

By Rev. Clayton A. Burdick

REV. CLAYTON A. BURDICK
How often trials, very hard to bear, Are meeting us as on the way we press; And with the weight of many a wearying care, Our hearts may hardly undergo the stress. Still lift the eyes and Godward let them gaze, For He who rules in heaven is always true; He knows the awful darkness of our days; Somehow, the Lord will bring us safely through.
True, in it all we find it hard to trust; To let ourselves rest down upon His word; To take these things, the ashes and the dust, And feel our wills with His in full accord. We can not solve the mystery and know What are the workings of His mighty hand, Or why it is He brings us down so low. Sometime, we may be sure, we'll understand.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere — fond words of hope, Driving away the shadows from our road! They are the stars within our horoscope, Lighting the pathway to the blest abode. Somehow, we feel that God's unceasing love Sometime will bring us to that heavenly rest Somewhere within His realm of light above, And we shall know that all He did was best.
