Joy Cometh (Annie R. Smith)

Описание: “Joy Cometh” is a beautiful 19th-century hymn written by Annie R. Smith (1828–1855), one of the early pioneers and hymn writers of the Seventh-day Adventist movement. Inspired by Psalm 30:5 — “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” — this radiant hymn lifts the believer’s eyes beyond present sorrow to the eternal morning of Christ’s kingdom.

With poetic tenderness, the hymn speaks to the mourning pilgrim walking through a dark and thorny maze of trials. Yet it assures us that every tear will be healed, every wound restored, and every storm replaced with glory. The promise of the “Morning Star” rising echoes Revelation 22:16 and points to the soon return of Jesus Christ.

“Joy Cometh” captures the heart of the blessed hope:
• Sorrow is temporary
• Christ’s appearing is near
• The faithful shall share in eternal glory
• Night will give way to endless day

Annie R. Smith’s hymns reflect the deep spiritual earnestness of early Advent believers — steadfast in trial, watchful for Christ’s return, and confident that the coming dawn will banish all darkness forever.

May this hymn encourage you to press forward through every storm, remembering that the rising of the Morning Star is not far away — and that the morning bringeth joy.
