God Hath Not Promised

I received a mug for my graduation, back in 1997, from a friend of the family. Its complete with my name on the handle and a lovely poem I have seen before. I just happened to read it and thought it was appropriate for today or any day.

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God that not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love....
