433. Beatitude. 2. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
1
Fears, perplexities, and mourning,Often we are call'd to know,
In our rough and stormy passage
Through this world of sin and woe;
But, the joys that wait the faithful,
Will a recompense bestow.
2
Christ, the hope of man, hath promisedTo the captive, friendless, bound,
His effectual consolations,
If, in ways of wisdom, found,
With redemption, everlasting,
Where the saints, the Lamb surround.
3
In that world of light and glory,We on angels' fare shall feed,
Where our pleasures, ever flowing,
From the fount of God proceed:
Joys, substantial and increasing,
Which reverse shall not succeed!
336
4
Let, no longer, Zion's TravellersHang the head, and heave the sigh,
Earth is theirs, and theirs is heaven!
Prospects vast before them lie
In reversion, stretching forward
To the throne of God, on high!
