549. Why Should Our Tears In Sorrow Flow

1 Why should our tears in sorrow flow
When God recalls His own,
And bids them leave a world of woe
For an immortal crown?

2 Is not e’en death a gain to those
Whose life to God was given?
Gladly to earth their eyes they close
To open them in heaven.

3 Their toils are past, their work is done,
And they are fully blest;
They fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.

4 Then let our sorrows cease to flow;
God has recalled His own;
But let our hearts, in every woe,
Still say, "Thy will be done."

AMEN.
