These things shall pass and some great morning
We'll look back and smile at heartaches we have known
So don't forget, when shadows gather
The Lord, our God, is still the King upon His throne
A rose looks gray at midnight
But the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong
Because it knew the hammer and white heat
These things shall pass
And life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong,
They cannot long endure.
These things shall pass so don't you worry
The darkest time is just one hour before the dawn
So hold up high and face your troubles
And don't despair if you must face them all alone
A rose looks gray at midnight
But the flame is just asleep
And steel is strong
Because it knew the hammer and white heat
These things shall pass
And life be sweeter
When love and faith are strong
They cannot long endure
When love and faith are strong,
They cannot long endure.
