The Comfort &
Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,
After the winter, the spring,
After the shower, the rainbow,
For life is a changeable thing.
After the night, the morning,
Bidding all darkness cease,
After life’s cares and sorrows,
The comfort and sweetness of peace
– Helen Steiner Rice
