[Can we mourn as broken hearted]

In My Father's house are many mansions. &c. —xiv. 2.

Can we mourn as broken hearted,
We who hang upon Thy love,
Jesus for our sake departed
To Thy Father's house above?
Source of all our consolations,
There we our Forerunner see:
In those lasting habitations
Thou hast found a place for me.

All our hopes and souls we venture
On Thy never-failing word,
Sure into Thy joy to enter,
Sure to triumph with our Lord;
Though we fall into distresses,
Into countless trials fall,
When Thy love in death releases,
Heaven shall make amends for all.
