O let him whose sorrow
no relief can find,
Trust in God, and borrow
ease for heart and mind.
Where the mourner weeping
sheds the secret tear,
God His watch is keeping,
though none else is near.
God will never leave thee,
all thy wants He knows,
Feels the pains that grieve thee,
sees thy cares and woes;
When in grief we languish,
He will dry the tear,
Who His children's anguish
Soothes with succour near.
Raise thine eyes to heaven
when thy spirits quail,
When, by tempests driven,
heart and courage fail.
All our woes and sadness,
in this world below,
Equal not the gladness
we in heaven shall know,
When our gracious Saviour
in the realms above
Crowns us with His favour,
fills us with His love.
---Alternative verses---
When in grief thou languish,
He will dry the tear,
Who His children’s anguish
Soothes with succour near.
If in grief thou languish,
He will dry the tear,
Who His children’s anguish
Soothes with succour near.
All our woes and sadness,
in this world below,
Balance not the gladness
we in heaven shalt know,
All thy woe and sadness,
in this world below,
Balance not the gladness
thou in heaven shalt know,
Jesus, holy Saviour
in the realms above
Crown us with Thy favour,
fill us with Thy love.
When thy gracious Saviour
in the realms above
Crowns thee with His favour,
fills thee with His love.
