Author: Almeda Hall Tarrant Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #68 (1916) First Line: When your path is smooth and peaceful Lyrics: 1 When your path is smooth and peaceful, And your skies are clear and blue, You may smile in glad contentment All the happy morning thro’; If affliction’s call is sounded, And the number rings for you, When the clapper strikes the gong, strikes the gong, Will your heart ring true? Chorus: Will your heart ring true? Are you loyal thro’ and thro’? When the clapper strikes the gong, strikes the gong, Will your heart ring true? 2 When the beauty-bending rainbow Lays its treasures at your feet, And a field of loving friendships Makes your happiness complete, If you meet with sad reverses And the tempter faces you, When the clapper strikes the gong, strikes the gong, Will your heart ring true? [Chorus] 3 When you think you’re fully trusting In the Savior’s matchless love, And thro’ faith you feel the wooing Of companionship above, If the clouds of doubt assail you Will you look beyond the blue, When the clapper strikes the gong, strikes the gong, Will your heart ring true?
