This I Know

I know not why some days are sad
And filled with grief and pain;
But this I know: 'Tho skies be gray
The sun will shine again.

For after winter follows spring
When flowers bloom anew;
And God, in love, is working now
His purposes for you.

Your trials will pass in His own time;
Friend, you will see the sun,
For there awaits a shining dawn
When clouds their work have done.
