He Shall Wipe Away Every Tear

Topics: classic

Every tear that dims the eye,     Or bedews the careworn cheek,     Will our God, who reigns on high,     With a hand so kind and meek,     Wipe away, nor leave a trace     Of its stain on eye or face.     He alone life's ills can right.     Each His tender pity needs;     None are hidden from His sight;     "Every tear," the promise reads--     Every tear shall cease to flow,     Cease, likewise, the cause of woe.     O may I in Him confide     While I tread this vale of tears!     Walking closely by His side     He will dissipate my fears,     And when ends the weary strife,     May I share the tearless life!
