1 Beautiful rainbow of promise,
Arching the lowering sky,
Glorious hope of tomorrow,
Life, endless life by and by.

Refrain:
With joy, with joy, we bask in the sunlight of love,
O promise of God never failing,
We’ll rise with our Savior above.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
We’ll rise with our Savior, our Savior above.

2 Rise in our hearts blessed Jesus,
From our dead selves set us free,
Keep us, we pray, from all evil,
Till Thy dear face we shall see. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful rainbow of promise,
Telling of weeping long past,
Christ, like the sun, has arisen,
Lighting our darkness at last. [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
