1 O soul bowed down with grief and care,
With burdens many, hard to bear,
Look up, look up, for God is there,
Thou shalt be comforted.

Refrain:
Thou shalt be comforted,
Thou shalt be comforted;
For God thy tears shall wipe away,
And bring to thee a brighter day;
For in his Word the Lord doth say,
“They shall be comforted.”

2 He enters into all thy woe,
Thine every sorrow he doth know,
His tender sympathy he’ll show,
Thou shalt be comforted. [Refrain]

3 Look up, and thou his face shalt see,
And know that he thy help shall be;
His pity draws him near to thee,
Thou shalt be comforted. [Refrain]

4 A precious soothing balm is he,
The healer of thy wounds he’ll be,
And trusting him thy soul shall see—
Thou shalt be comforted. [Refrain]
