Light after darkness
Gain after loss
Strength after weakness
Crown after cross
Sweet after bitter
Hope after fears
Home after wandering
Praise after tears

Light after sowing
Sun after rain
Sight after mystery
Peace after pain
Joy after sorrow
Calm after blast
Rest after weariness
Sweet rest at last

Light after distant
Gleam after gloom
Love after lonliness
Life after tomb
After long agony
Rapture of bliss
Right was the pathway
Leading to this.
