A Better Tomorrow
A better tomorrow shines with God’s light
Vanquishing yesterday’s despair and gloom
Welcoming today upon blest delight
Midst serenity of hope and faith-bloom.
Tomorrow's radiance is imminent
Now revealed by signs of the times aglow
Showing prophecies’ truth so pertinent:
Christ’s coming to reign along blessings flow.
Shimmering with pardon of comfort gleam
Tomorrow ushers genuine love’s domain
While the Lord leads through righteous-mercy beam
Divinely-filled pleasure, healing hate’s pain.
Assured by the Saviour’s blazing presence*
Bright future brings eternal joy’s incense.
*Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
