Original text and translations

English text

When the lands are dank with rain,
When the day is drear,
Brightly over hill and plain
Gleams the rainbow clear.

Shine, O glorious light,
O rainbow in the sky,
Storms will pass, and days be bright,
By and by, by and by.

When our hearts are sad with grief,
Bowed with bitter tears,
Hope’s glad promise brings relief,
Shining through the years.

Shine, O glorious light,
To cheer us when we sigh,
Tears will pass, and days be bright,
By and by, by and by.
