Sometimes we weep
when the path grows dim
When the storm filled skies
go black and grim
But trust the Lord
to lead the way
And guide us safe
to a brighter day
Joy comes in the mornin'
When the dark gives way
to the light
All of God's children
walk by faith and not by sight
Gotta get ready
to replace that frown
with a glorious smile
Though it be night joy comes
in the mornin' after a while
With Peter locked away in jail
The church knew God
would never fail
All night they prayed
to set him free
Whence came the dawnin'
he was free
Free indeed
Joy comes in the mornin'
When the dark gives way
to the light
All of God's children
walk by faith and not by sight
Gotta get ready
to replace that frown
with a glorious smile
Though it be night joy comes
in the mornin' after a while
Joy comes in the mornin'
When the dark gives way
to the light
All of God's children
walk by faith and not by sight
Gotta get ready
to replace that frown
with a glorious smile
Though it be night joy comes
in the mornin' after a while
Joy comes in the mornin'
after awhile
