1 If o’er thy way dark clouds are cast,
Look up with faith till they are past,
The sun will surely shine at last,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

Chorus:
Then do not fear, though dark the night;
But rise on wings of faith sublime,
For ev’rything will come out right,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time.

2 Hast thou pray’d long and fervently,
And yet no answer came to thee?
Thy pray’r will sometime answer’d be,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time. [Chorus]

3 Look up with joy, nor longer weep,
Thy God will ev’ry promise keep,
And thou wilt yet the harvest reap,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time. [Chorus]

4 Tho’ thro’ the glass thou cans’t not see,
And wonder why some things must be,
Yet thou wilt know each mystery,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time. [Chorus]

5 And would’st thou be forever blest?
Just trust in God and do thy best,
Then thou shalt enter into rest,
In God’s own time, in God’s own time. [Chorus]
