Author: Thomas P. Westendorf Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6264 First Line: Oh, sorrowing mortal, why still despair Refrain First Line: As one whom his mother comforteth Lyrics: 1. Oh, sorrowing mortal, why still despair,
The Father will gladly bestow
A tender compassion for all thy care,
A balm for thy every woe.

As one whom his mother comforteth,
So will I comfort you,
So will, so will,
So will I comfort you.
2. Thy tears He will change into jewels bright,
Thy sighs will be turned into song;
Where now there is darkness there shall be light,
The weak through His power be strong. [Refrain]
3. His mercy endureth while worlds decay,
His pity doth ever abide;
He’s tenderly calling for thee today,
From over the crystal tide. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, sorrowing mortal, why still despair]
