Blessed are They that Mourn.

BLESSED are lNtl tndt NaVuih'
Oh deem not they are blessed alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
The power that pitics man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
The lid that overfiows with tears;
And weary hours Of woe and pain
Are promises Of happy years.
There is a day of sunny rest,
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief NAV bde an evening guest,
But JOY shall come with early light.
And thou. who DER thy friends low bier,
Sheddest the bitter drops like rain,
Hope that happier, brighter shore,
will give him to thy arms again.
Nor let the good mans trust depart,
Though life its common gifts deny;
Though pierced and broken he his heart,
And spurned of men he goes to die.
For God has marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered every secret tear
And heaven long age of time shall pay
For all its children suffer here.
