] "Some day all doubt and mystery
win be made clear;
| The threatening clouds which now we see
| viii disappear.
| Some day our weary feet will rest
In sweet content,
And we will know how we were blest
BY what was cent.
And looking back with clearer eyes
Der life's short span,
VIII see with wondering glad surprise
| Gods perfect plan.
And knowing that the path we went
| Was Gods own way.
VIII understand His wise intent
Some day, some day"
