[“The Lord can clear the darkest skies]

“The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
And give us day for night:
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.”

Then, in the midst of tribulations and distresses, let us sing:

“Arise my soul from deep distress,
And banish every fear;
He calls thee to his throne of grace
To spread thy sorrows there.”
