Songs for the Sanctuary #975
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 O, who would bear life's stormy doom,
Did not thy wing of love
Come, brightly wafting through the gloom
Our peace-branch from above?
3 Each sorrow, touched by thee, grows bright
With more than rapture's ray,
As darkness shows us worlds of light
We never saw by day.
