Author: H. L. Hymnal: Great Gospel Songs #112 (1929) First Line: Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows Refrain First Line: Your roses may have thorns, but don’t forget Lyrics: 1 Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows,
The pleasant valleys meet the rugged hills;
The quiet sea may change to raging billows,
But all is well if so the Father wills.
Refrain:
Your roses may have thorns, but don’t forget
Your thorns may have some roses, too;
The Lord of great compassion loves you yet,
And He will never fail to see you through.
2 The peaceful day may change to raging tempest,
But know that after tempest comes the calm;
And know that after night must come the morning,
And after sad bereavement, healing balm. [Refrain]
3 The withered flowers hold the seeds of promise,
The winter days are harbingers of spring;
The trials that may often seem most bitter
May bring to you the joys that make you sing. [Refrain]
The sorrows that have come to you unbidden
Have often brought a peace before unknown;
The Maker of your destiny is striving
To fit your heart to be His royal throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows]
