He Wipes the Tear From Every Eye

By Robert Hare

ROBERT HARE
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.
Through wakeful nights, when racked with pain, “On bed of languishing” you lie, Remember still your God is near, To wipe the tear from every eye.
A few short years, and all is o’er, Your sorrow, pain, will soon pass by; Then lean in faith on God’s dear Son, He’ll wipe the tear from every eye.
O never be your soul cast down, Nor let your heart desponding sigh; Assured the God whose name is Love Will wipe the tear from every eye.
Soon, soon beyond earth’s changing night, Beyond the gloom of wintry sky, We’ll rest where angel faces smile, And tears are wiped from every eye.
Then never be my soul dismayed; Jehovah leads, his love is nigh. Toil on, the home land waits beyond, Where tears are wiped from every eye.
