A rain shower had recently swept  across the area, and now bright sunlight flooded the area. As we drove, a  rainbow kept pace beside the car. I know it was a refraction of the sunlight,  but it was an awe inspiring sight.<\/p>\n<p>Without rain there could be no rainbow. Without sun there would  be no rainbow. God has graciously made a covenant with all creatures on the  earth that there would never again be a flood such as there was in Noah&#8217;s  day.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 1879 Rev. J. K. Alwood was equally moved as he observed  a rainbow in the western sky late one evening as he was traveling home. When he  arrived at his home, he immediately composed the hymn for this week: <em>The  Unclouded Day. <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gloryscapes.com\/theuncloudedday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Unclouded Day<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell  me of a home far away;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds  rise,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of an unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> O the  land of cloudless day, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>O the land of an unclouded sky;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of  a home, Where no storm clouds rise,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of an unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they  tell me of that land far away;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Where the tree of life in eternal  bloom<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Sheds its fragrance thru the unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> O the  land of cloudless day, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>O the land of an unclouded sky;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of  a home, Where no storm clouds rise,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of an unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>O they tell me of the King in His beauty there,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And they  tell me that mine eyes shall behold,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Where He sits on the throne that is  whiter than snow,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>In the city that is made of gold.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chorus: <\/strong>O the  land of cloudless day, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>O the land of an unclouded sky;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of  a home, Where no storm clouds rise,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of an unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>O they tell me that he smiles on His children there,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And his  smile drives their sorrows all away;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And they tell me that no tears ever come  again,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>In that lovely land of unclouded day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chorus:<\/strong> O the  land of cloudless day, <\/em><br \/>\n<em>O the land of an unclouded sky;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of  a home, Where no storm clouds rise,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>O they tell me of an unclouded day.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Enjoy this week&#8217;s free inspirational video <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gloryscapes.com\/theuncloudedday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Unclouded  Day<\/a><\/em>, from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gloryscapes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GloryScapes&#x2122; Inspirational Music Videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gloryscapes.com\/theuncloudedday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/gloryscapes.com\/watchvideo\/uncloudedday.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Watch Video\" width=\"350\" height=\"195\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blessings dear hearts.
