IN UNDERSTANDING

It is through grace we scale the mountains
And in faith the valleys trod...
With perseverance, on we travel,
Until we lay beneath the sod.

It is with joy we see the summit
And through tears the valleys know,
Through grace this life is conquered
And through faith forbearance grow.

Through trials, made the stronger,
And through weakness, mercy see,
And in our lowest moments...
It is Christ who comes to thee.

Should the valleys not show sunshine
And the mountains loom so high;
It is Christ who'll shine upon us...
His grace the while we cry.

When at last the angel’s calling,
And we hear the sound of wings,
It is then we'll see His glory
And understand all earthly things.
