I was so glad to find a copy on Google. Years ago I had a copy that I shared with many, particularly if they were going through difficult times. I had misplaced it, yet could still recite some of it for memory. Delighted that I have it now to give hope to friends going through earthly trials.

Apparently Annie Johnson Flint borrowed heavily from Hellen Steiner Rice, whose published poem is as follows: hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives though. hath no promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the laborer, light for the way, Grace for the trial, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love. - Helen Steiner Rice
