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?
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?
Though earthly shepherds dwell in dust,
The ag�d and the young,
The watchful eye, in darkness closed,
And mute th�instructive tongue.
The Eternal Shepherd still survives,
New comfort to impart;
His eye still guides us, and His voice
Still animates our heart.
�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.�
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.
