O thou who driest the mourner's tear!

Author: Thomas Moore Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou who driest the mourner's tear! How dark this world would be If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee! 2 O, who would bear life's stormy doom, Did not thy wing of love Come, brightly wafting through the gloom Our peace-branch from above? 3 Each sorrow, touched by thee, grows bright With more than rapture's ray, As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.

There is no sorrow, Lord, too light

Author: Mrs. F. Creudson Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is no sorrow, Lord, too light To bring in prayer to thee; There is no anxious care too slight To wake thy sympathy. 2 Thou who hast trod the thorny road Wilt share each small distress; The love which bore the greater load Will not refuse the less. 3 There is no secret sigh we breathe But meets thine ear divine, And every cross grows light beneath The shadow, Lord, of thine. 4 Life's ills without, sin's strife within, The heart would overflow, But for that love which died for sin, That love which wept with woe.

From lips divine, like healing balm

Author: William H. Burleigh Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From lips divine, like healing balm To hearts oppressed and torn, The heavenly consolation fell, "Blessed are they that mourn." 2 Unto the hopes by sorrow crushed A noble faith succeeds; And life, by trials furrowed, bears The fruit of loving deeds. 3 How rich, how sweet, how full of strength Our human spirits are, Baptized into the sanctities Of suffering and of prayer! 4 Yes, heavenly wisdom, love divine, Breathed through the lips which said, "O blessed are the hearts that mourn; They shall be comforted."
