These things shall pass
And some great morning
We'll look back and smile
At heartaches we have known
So don't forget
When shadows gather
The Lord our God is still the King
Upon His throne
A rose looks gray at midnight
But the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong
Because it knew
The hammer and white heat
These things shall pass
And life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong
They cannot long endure
These things shall pass
So don't you worry
The darkest time is just one hour
Before dawn
So hold up high
And face your troubles
And don't dispare if you must face them
All alone
A rose looks gray at midnight
But the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong
Because it knew
The hammer and white heat
These things shall pass
And life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong
They cannot long endure
These things shall pass
