Light after darkness, gain after loss,
Strength after weakness, crown after cross;
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears,
Home after wandering, praise after tears.

Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain,
Sight after mystery, peace after pain;
Joy after sorrow, calm after blast,
Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last.

Near after distant, gleam after gloom,
Love after loneliness, life after tomb;
After long agony, rapture of bliss,
Right was the pathway, leading to this.

黑暗後光明，失後有獲，
十架後冠冕，弱後剛強；
恐懼後有望，苦後甘甜，
流蕩後回家，淚後讚美。

撒種後收成，雨後太陽，
模糊後顯明，痛後平安；
悲哀後歡樂，風後平靜，
困乏後安息，末了安憩。

遙遠後相近，暗後有光，
孤單後有愛，死後得生；
漫長痛苦後，被提極樂，
這就是正路，引到樂境。
