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
