Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

1

Tho' the storm clouds rise about us;

Tho' the arch above is dark;

'Round the cloud or after tempests

There is always heaven's mark:

2

When the haze of ill surrounds us,

When the heart is filled with fear.

And the art of sin confounds us,

There is help for souls sincere.

3

There are nights of tears and sorrow,

There are moments bleak and dim;

Thro' the darkness shines the morrow,

Time will have its silver rim:

CHORUS

Ev'ry cloud has a silver lining!

Ev'ry plight has a brighter hue!

After night a lovely morning!

After storm a calm anew!

Ev'ry cloud has a silver lining!

Ev'ry care has a blessing too!

If we look for the silver lining

When the lamp of God shines thro'!

Vana R. Raye / L. O. Sanderson

This song was written and composed by L.O. Sanderson (Vana R. Raye is a pseudonym). Sanderson is specific to the Church of Christ, so I had a hard time finding this specific song on a video. (There are other songs with the same title.) This is not the best quality video, but it's the only one I could find with this specific song. Ray Walker has recorded a multitude of Church of Christ congregational singing videos. I believe this song is in the Christian Hymns Number Two hymnal, which was edited by... L.O.Sanderson.
