The Upper Window
VERSE 1
Time,
with an unwearied hand,
When God
spoke unto Noah, and told him to build the ark,
The Lord
knew well the vessel would cheerless be and dark,
So God
said, “Build a window, with outlook toward the sky,
That
when it’s dark and lonesome, you’ll see Me standing by.
Reff
“The
storms will come, but fear not, oh, children, I am nigh,
And
through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by.
VERSE 2
“It may be that affliction will rack and rend
your frame,
Until
your mortal body is seared with fevered flame;
But do
not be discouraged, just lift your tear-dimmed eye,
And
through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by.
VERSE 3
“Perhaps you’ll suffer losses, like houses,
lands, and gold,
And you
will feel you’re homeless, and penniless, and old;
But
sweetest peace and comfort will lift your painful sigh,
When
through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by.
VERSE 4
“It may be that bereavement will take a loved
one dear,
A soul
that brought you gladness, real happiness and cheer;
But it
will cheer your sad heart, when loved ones from you fly,
When
through the upper window, you’ll see Me standing by.”
