He wipes the tear

When sore afflictions crush the soul,
And riven is every earthly tie
The heart must cling to God alone:
He wipes the tear from every eye.
Enough wakeful nights when racked with pain
A bed of languishing you lie,
Remember still that God is near,
He wipes the tear from every eye.

A few short years, and all is oér;
Your sorrows, pains, will soon pass by;
Then lean in faith on God’s dear Son,
He’ll wipe the tear from every eye.
Oh! Never be your soul cast down,
Nor let your heart desponding sigh,
Assured that God, whose name is Love,
Will wipe the tear from every eye.
