15951. Better Days

1 Tho’ the pathway seemeth dark and dreary,
As in sadness we are waiting for the dawn,
There is hope and comfort for the weary,
Better days are coming on.

Refrain:
Better days are coming on;
Better days are coming on;
Better days, better days,
Better days are coming, coming on;

2 Better days! when naught of sin and sorrow
Shall abide with those whose pilgrimage is done;
When the night shall yield to golden morrow—
Better days are coming on. [Refrain]

3 Better days! O sweet the song in glory,
When the victory and crown of life are won,
And we sing redemption’s wondrous story,
In the days soon coming on. [Refrain]
