| 1 | Oh! Let him, whose sorrow
No relief can find,
Trust in God, and borrow
Ease for heart and mind. |
| 2 | Where the mourner weeping
Sheds the secret tear,
God His watch is keeping,
Though none else is near. |
| 3 | God will never leave thee,
All thy wants He knows,
Feels the pains that grieve thee,
Sees thy cares and woes. |
| 4 | Raise thine eyes to heaven
When thy spirits quail,
When, by tempests driven,
Heart and courage fail. |
| 5 | When in grief we languish
He will dry the tear,
Who His children’s anguish
Soothes with succor near. |
| 6 | All our woe and sadness,
In this world below,
Balance not the gladness
We in heaven shall know. |
| 7 | When our gracious Savior
In the realms above
Crowns us with His favor,
Fills us with His love. Amen. |
