Now Let Our Mourning Hearts Revive
VERSE 1
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?
VERSE 2
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?
VERSE 3
Though
earthly shepherds dwell in dust,
The aged
and the young,
The
watchful eye, in darkness closed,
And mute
th’instructive tongue.
VERSE 4
The
Eternal Shepherd still survives,
New comfort
to impart;
His eye
still guides us, and His voice
Still
animates our heart.
VERSE 5
“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.”
VERSE 6
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.
