O Thou Who Driest the Mourner’s Tear (EN 2248)

EN 2248 O Thou Who Driest the Mourner’s Tear

Isa.25.8

Versi Version 1

1

O Thou who driest the mourner’s tear,

How dark this world would be,

If, when deceived and wounded here,

We could not fly to Thee!

2

The friends who in our sunshine live,

When winter comes are flown;

And he who has but tears to give,

Must weep those tears alone.

3

But Thou wilt heal that broken heart,

Which, like the plants that throw

Their fragrance from the wounded part,

Breathes sweetness out of woe.

4

When joy no longer soothes or cheers,

And e’en the hope that threw

A moment’s sparkle o’er our tears

Is dimmed and vanished too—

5

O who could bear life’s stormy doom,

Did not Thy wing of love

Come brightly wafting through the gloom

Our peace-branch from above?

6

Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright,

With more than rapture’s ray;

As darkness shows us worlds of light

We never saw by day.
