O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Author: Moore Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 25:8 Lyrics: 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 Christ can 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 Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom, Did not his wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom, Our peace-branch from above. 6 Then sorrow, touched by him, grows bright, With more than rapture's ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.

See, rebels by adopting grace Sit with the heirs of Heaven! 4 The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now To ease and health restor'd, With eager appetites partake The plenties of the board. 5 But O what draughts of bliss unknown, What dainties shall be given, When, with the myriads round the throne, We join the feast of Heaven? 6 There joys immeasurably high Shall overflow the soul, And springs of life, that never dry, In thousand channels roll.
