THE PENITENT
THE PENITENT1.
I mourn with thee, and yet rejoice That thou shouldst sorrow so; With angel choirs2 I join my voice To bless the sinner's woe3.
Though friends and kindred turn away, And laugh thy grief to scorn; I hear the great Redeemer say, Blessed are ye that mourn.
Hold on thy course, nor deem it strange That earthly cords are riven: Man may lament4 the wondrous5 change, But there is joy in heaven!
