Light after darkness, Gain after loss, Strength after weakness Crown after cross; Sweet after bitter, Hope after fears, Home after wand'ring, Praise after tears. |

Sheaves after sowing, Sun after rain, Sight after mystery, Peace after pain; Joy after sorrow, Calm after blast, Rest after weariness, Sweet rest at last. |

Near after distant, Gleam after gloom, Love after loneliness, Life after tomb; After long agony, Rapture of bliss, Right was the pathway, Leading to this. |

A sister read this hymn at Matt Coleman's funeral. It was beautiful. I especially like the last line "Right was the pathway leading to this." #727 in Recovery Hymnal
