For everything that happens wrong
A dozen things go right.
For every tear a flood of song
Rings out across the night.
For every dark and stormy day
A week of days are fair.
However chill the clouds and gray,
’Tis always bright somewhere.
For every heart of bitterness
A host of hearts are light.
For every hour of deep distress
A whole long day is bright.
For every faithless friend we find
That many friends are true.
So, after all, God’s mighty kind
To such as me and you.
