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
