Oh. deem not they are blest alone
, Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep;
The power who pitieS man has shown
A blessing for the eyes shat weep.
The light of smiles shall fill again
e The lids that overflow with tears;
y And weary homes of woe and PAIN
Are promises of happier years.
: There is day of sunny rest
e For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may bide an evening guest
But joy shall come with morning light
And thou who, DER thy child's low bier
Sheddest the bitter drops like rain,
J Hope that brighter, happier sphere
q Will give him to thy arms again.
For God hath marked each sorrowin;
: day
e And numbered every secret tear,
cI And heavens long age of bliss will pa,
u For all his children suffer here.
