midnight
And in the glorious sunshine of life , grow ever young and beautiful , in an immortal youth . Oh , ye suffering , sorrowing children of earth ! turn your affections and hopes from the fleeting things of time ; from the outside-world , to the beautiful inner spirit-life , where eternity develops ever new and varying joys . Then only can the day dawn upon the human soul , and the midnight darkness be dissipated by boundless effulgence of light . TIME and Patience ! These are Angels By our Heavenly Father sent ; Whispering to our restless spirits , `` Cease to murmur -- be content ; God , who is thy truest friend , Doth our aid in trials send . When thy weary spirit faileth , ` Neath the weary cross it bears , God is not unmindful of thee -- He is listening to thy prayers ; From His children 's tearful pleading He will _ never _ turn unheeding !
