[Intro] [Verse 1] Joy comes walking through the sorrow And laughter rises up in the rain Mercy meets us in the hollow And calls our weary hearts by name [Refrain A] Gladness travels soft and steady Grace can make a hard road sweet Our Hope is singing out ahead now Keeping time beneath our feet [Verse 2] Love comes gently through the window When fear has pulled the curtain tight Peace sits down among the weary And fills the room with morning light [Refrain B] Gladness gathers at the crossing Grace can make a poor heart rich Our Hope is singing out ahead now Calling us beyond the ditch [Bridge] Sorrow cannot keep the morning Trouble cannot claim the day Kindness comes with open hands And gives the tired heart a way [Verse 3] Faith comes walking through the shadow With flowers gathered in her hand Grace keeps moving with the scattered Till strangers learn to understand [Final Braid] Joy comes walking through the sorrow Love comes gently through the window Faith comes walking through the shadow Grace keeps moving with the scattered Gladness travels soft and steady Grace can make a hard road sweet Our Hope is singing out ahead now Keeping time beneath our feet [Outro]
