1. God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
*But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.
2. God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
3. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.

神未曾应许：天色常蓝，
人生的路途花香常漫；
神未曾应许：常晴无雨，
常乐无痛苦，常安无虞。
副:
神却曾应许：生活有力，
行路有光亮，作工得息，
试炼得恩勗，危难有赖，
无限的体谅，不死的爱。

神未曾应许：我们不遇
苦难和试探、
懊恼、忧虑；
神未曾应许：我们不负
许多的重担、许多事务。
3
神未曾应许：前途尽是
平坦的大路，任意驱驰；
没有深水拒，汪洋一片，
没有大山阻，高薄云天。
