EN 242 Now Let Our Mourning Hearts Revive
Josh.1.2
Versi Version 1
1
Now let our mourning hearts revive,
And all our tears be dry;
Why should those eyes be drowned in grief
Which view a Savior nigh?
2
What though the arm of conquering death
Does God’s own house invade?
What though the prophet and the priest
Be numbered with the dead?
3
Though earthly shepherds dwell in dust,
The aged and the young,
The watchful eye, in darkness closed,
And mute th’instructive tongue.
4
The Eternal Shepherd still survives,
New comfort to impart;
His eye still guides us, and His voice
Still animates our heart.
5
“Lo! I am with you,” saith the Lord,
“My Church shall safe abide;
For I will ne’er forsake My own,
Whose souls in Me confide.”
6
Through every scene of life and death,
This promise is our trust;
And this shall be our children’s song,
When we are cold in dust.
