How sweet the sunshine after rain,
And sweet the rest that follows pain,
But sweeter far His face to see,
The Son of God who died for me.
But not until He calls me home,
No, not till then will I behold
The Savior who did die for me,
And bore my sins on Calvary.
He suffered, bled and died alone,
Alone, alone for you and me,
Could I for shame reject such love,
A sacrifice from God above?
I do accept His sacrifice,
Will serve Him now for evermore,
For only such a Friend as He,
Could pardon, cleanse and make me free.
If you receive His pardoning grace,
You'll meet Him yonder face to face,
And have a home in Heaven above
Where all is joy and peace and love.
Then when around God's throne we meet
And lowly bow at Jesus' feet,
A song of praise we'll ever sing
To Christ, our Savior, Lord and King.
—Ruby McKenzie.
Tune —"Saved by Grace".
The above lines were composed by a young lady who was blind and could not move either her hands or her feet, and her spinal cord being affected, her head was drawn backwards. She lay in this condition for sixteen years and yet was full of nothing but praise and thanksgiving for the One Who died for her on Calvary's Cross.
