1. In the Bible Jesus tells us we must suffer for His sake; Though the world in trouble wears a gloomy shroud, Heaven's grace is all we need if we the consecration make, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud. * Refrain: Just behind the cloud, Just behind the cloud, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud; Just behind the cloud, Just behind the cloud, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud. 2. We are in a world of trouble, but the Lord is always near, Though the people are so sinful, vain, and proud; When the shadows dark are falling all around our pathway here, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud. 3. When the storms so black are raging over life's tempestuous sea, When reverses all around you closely crowd; When the darkness seems to gather just as far as you can see, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud. 4. If we suffer as a Christian He'll reward us over there; Once beneath our load of sins He meekly bowed; He will never let us suffer more than we can ably bear, We are sure the sun is shining just behind the cloud.
