DARK BELOW BUT LIGHT ABOVE.
Through the mists of shadows dreary, O'er the dark and stormy sea, Came a voice of heavenly music Floating through the gloom to me; 'Twass a voice of wondrous sweetness, Bringing words of hope and love, Whispering to my troubled spirit, '■' Dark below, but light above."
Often when life's shadows gather, Round my weary troubled soul. Comes that voice of angel sweetness,. Whispering J am near the gaol; Telling me in softened murmurs, Bringing words of hope and love, Saying to my doubting spirit, " Dark below, but light above." Soon I'll reach those golden portals, Soon I'll cross life's troubled' sea, Whence that voice of music floating, Came and whispered hope to me ; There in heaven's own light for ever, In that sunlight of God's love, Shall I find that saying truthful, " Dark below, but light above."
