“THEY THAT SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY.”

By Rural New Yorker

Child of sorrow, lift thy head! Bid thy heart rejoice; Doubt and darkness soon shall flee— ’Tis thy Saviour’s voice! Blessed are the souls that mourn, Blessed they that grieve; Affliction’s children, saith the Lord, Comfort shall receive.
Child of sorrow, dry thy tears! Lift thy weeping eyes! See, the day begins to dawn, The night of sorrow flies. Clouds and darkness disappear, Light beams from on high; Banish every doubting fear,— Jesus draweth nigh!
Child of sorrow, weep no more! Cheer thy drooping heart! Though all earthly solace fail, Let not hope depart! God shall give thee lasting peace Earth cannot destroy; Though his children “sow in tears,” They “shall reap in joy.”
—Rural New Yorker.
