Now know we not the meaning of life's sorrow, now know we not the pattern God has planned, but comes the dawn of his all-glorious morrow-- then shall we know; then shall we understand. Now know we but in part our life's long story, now see we through a darkened glass and dim: then shall we see our God in all his glory, then shall we know as we are known of his. Now know we but the sorrow and the sadness, now know we but the loneliness and loss: then shall we know the glory and the gladness-- the crown shall rise in triumph o'er the cross. Then shall we know the love that passes measure, then shall we read the mysteries of grace; then shall we know eternal truth and treasure; then shall we see our Savior, face to face!
