Sentiment .... Think not the Almighty wills one idle 
pang, one needless tear. 
Despair not, though dark be the cloud, 
“ Behind is the sun still shining; ” 
Thou seest but its gloomy side, 
“ Each cloud hath a silver lining.” 
Look through the clouds to Him beyond. 
And cease thy wrong repining; 
Although the cloud to thee seems dark, 
Yet, “ The cloud hath a silver lining.** 
The Lord wills not one idle pang. 
One needless tear designing; 
When gloomy darkness reigns around, 
“ Each cloud hath a silver lining.” 
Oh, thou to whom afflictions come, 
And leave thee sad and pining; 
Remember well this pleasant truth, 
“ Each cloud hath a silver lining.”
