O joy that seekest me through pain I cannot close my heart to thee I trace the rainbow through the rain And feel the promis is not vain That mourn shall tearless be. O cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red life that shall endless be.
