Am7                   C
Light after darkness, gain after loss
F
Strength after weakness, crown after cross
Am7                   C
Sweet after bitter, hope after fears
F
Home after wandering, praise after tears


[Verse 2]

Am7                   C
Sheaves after sowing, sun after rain
F
Sight after mystery, peace after pain
Am7                C
Joy after sorrow, calm after blast
F
Rest after weariness, sweet rest at last


[Chorus] 

Am7                   
Give me the hope for tomorrow
C
Give me the strength for today
F
You are the promise of peace
       ( F )
On my pathway to faith


[Verse 3] 

Am7                   C
Near after distant, gleam after gloom
F
Love after loneliness, life after tomb
Am7              C
After the agony, rapture of bliss
F
Glory awaits beyond the abyss


[Chorus]

Am7                   
Give me the hope for tomorrow
C
Give me the strength for today
F
You are the promise of peace
       ( F )
On my pathway to faith
