God Hath Not Promised

God Hath Not Promised

God promises us that He'll never leave us, nor forsake us. With His
presence, He also gives us added blessings.



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 labourer, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

-- By Annie Johnson Flint
