When Our Faith Is Seen as Sight

When through this world of sorrow
It seems all life is dark with pain
God will send the sun tomorrow
But we cannot grow without rain.

Chorus:
An eternal weight of glory
Worketh from afflictions light
For we'll shout salvation's story
When our faith is seen as sight.

In darkness, pain and anguish,
In helplessness that breeds despair
Jesus wins when we relinquish
All that we are to Him in prayer.

Oh, the cross was agonizing
E'en though to die, the Lord was born.
Later there was great rejoicing
When came the resurrection morn.

Some day when life is over
This tabernacle we'll depart.
We'll see Christ, the greatest lover:
We'll know the whole, not just the part.


Chorus:
An eternal weight of glory
Worketh from afflictions light
For we'll shout salvation's story
When our faith is seen as sight.
