Look Beyond

By Pearl Waggoner

WHEN the clouds are dark, and hanging low about thy way, Look beyond the shadows to the land of perfect day; Think of One who for thyself a deeper sorrow bore, Think of endless life with him where pain shall come no more.
Look beyond the shadows to the dawn of perfect day When a God of love himself shall wipe all tears away,— Where the mists shall vanish, and the dark things be made known, Where earth's worn and weary ones no more shall walk alone.
Look beyond the shadow. There is light the other side, Daylight that is lasting, joys that evermore abide. Look beyond the shadow when the prospect seemeth drear; Light beyond will compensate for all the gloom down here.
Look beyond the shadows. But and should they chance to be Far too deep for human eyes the light beyond to see, Lose not then thy hope, but hold by faith the promise fast: Morning surely cometh when the shades of night are past.
Look beyond the shadow, for the morn will soon be here; Even now on the horizon signs of dawn appear. Hold, then, fast thy confidence, whatever tests arise: Light for thee, if faithful, just beyond the shadow lies.
Hinsdale, Ill.
