Your Roses May Have Thorns

Author: H. L. Hymnal: Great Gospel Songs #112 (1929) First Line: Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows Refrain First Line: Your roses may have thorns, but don’t forget Lyrics: 1 Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows, The pleasant valleys meet the rugged hills; The quiet sea may change to raging billows, But all is well if so the Father wills. Refrain: Your roses may have thorns, but don’t forget Your thorns may have some roses, too; The Lord of great compassion loves you yet, And He will never fail to see you through. 2 The peaceful day may change to raging tempest, But know that after tempest comes the calm; And know that after night must come the morning, And after sad bereavement, healing balm. [Refrain] 3 The withered flowers hold the seeds of promise, The winter days are harbingers of spring; The trials that may often seem most bitter May bring to you the joys that make you sing. [Refrain] The sorrows that have come to you unbidden Have often brought a peace before unknown; The Maker of your destiny is striving To fit your heart to be His royal throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Life’s sunshine may be checkered with its shadows]
