As the sunlight breaks thro’ the clouds o’er head

As the sunlight breaks thro’ the clouds o’er head,
When the storm has passed, and the winds have fled,
So in hours of darkness, and fear and trial
There is nothing so sweet as the Savior’s smile.

In the time of sorrow, and pain and grief,
When I pray to Jesus, He sends relief,
When temptations sore would my soul beguile
There is nothing so sweet as the Savior’s smile.

When the morning beams with a joyful light,
Or when dark and drear fall the shades of night,
As we’re nearing home with each weary mile
There is nothing so sweet as the Savior’s smile.

So it matters not what the years may bring,
Whether winter’s frosts, or the flowers of spring,
If in faith I pray to Him all the while
There is nothing so sweet as the Savior’s smile.

Chorus
There is nothing so sweet, there is nothing so sweet,
As the smile He gives, when we kneel at His feet,
In the hour of grief, in the hour of trial,
There is nothing so sweet as the Savior’s smile.
