"Light after darkness, gain after loss;
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, song after sigh;
Home after wandering, praise after cry.
"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." M.G.E. Bennett, Pastor
