I have this song in a hymnal that belonged to my grandfather (and I'm 73). I thought I could upload a picture but don't see how to do it. I'd be happy to send it to you. The hymnal is called Christian Service Songs and was published by Rhodeheaver Hall-Mac Co. of Winona Lake, Indiana. Copyright 1939. You might search for a copy online through www.thriftbooks.com or one of the other used book stores.

Never fear tho' shadows dark around your path may fall;
Do not let your heart be troubled;
From His throne in heaven,
God is watching one and all,
He will ever care for you.

Chorus

Back of the clouds the sun is always shining,
After the storms your skies will all be blue;
God has prepared a rosy-tinted lining,
Back of the clouds it's waiting to shine thru.

Winter long is over and the spring has gone her way,
Often has the storm clouds gathered,
But the rain has only made the blossoms look more gay...
Given earth a brighter hue.

Keep the light of hope eternal dwelling in your heart,
Rest upon the Father's promise,
And you'll find that care and trouble will depart...
Heaven's peace will enter in.

--Carolyn R. Freeman

Back of the clouds, the sun is always shining,
Back of the clouds, the skies are always blue;
God has prepared a golden tinted lining,
Back of the clouds, it's waiting to shine through!

Back of the clouds, the sun is always shining,
Back of the clouds, the skies are always blue;
God has prepared a golden silver lining...
So keep on praying, til the sun shines through!

I believe this was published in a solo hymn book published by Rodeheaver Company in the mid 1940's
