一 神未曾應許：天色常藍，
人生的路途花香常漫；
神未曾應許：常睛無雨，
常樂無痛苦，常安無虞。
（副）神卻曾應許：生活有力，
行路有光亮，作工得息。
試煉得恩勗，危難有賴，
無限的體諒，不死的愛。
二 神未曾應許：我們不遇
苦難和試探，懊惱、憂慮；
神未曾應許：我們不負
許多的重擔，許多事務。
三 神未曾應許：前途盡是
平坦的大路，任意驅馳；
沒有深水拒汪洋一片，
沒有大山阻高薄雲天。
1. God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower strewn pathways all our lives thro';
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
Refrain
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing kindness, undying love.
2. God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.
3. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.
