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 dawn
So hold up high and face your troubles
And don't dispare
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
These things shall pass
