Comforted of God
"The God of all comfort—who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are COMFORTED OF GOD." 2 Cor. 1:4.
O, how you will miss your loved one,
And your heart is broken, I know,
And you feel there is naught remaineth,
But sorrow and tears here below.
But no! there's a ray of sunlight,
If you'll just lift your eyes above,
And behold her there in the Glory,
Safe home, with the Savior of love.
Safe home with the Lord of Glory,
With Jesus who loved us so,
That He bore all our sins on Calv'ry,
To redeem us from Hell and woe.
Could such wonderful love be mistaken
When He summoned your dear one above?
Ah no! "for His way is perfect,"
Perfect in wisdom and love.
No sorrow is great as His sorrow,
When He hung on that cruel cross,
Rejected by man, forsaken of God,—
He endured to save us from loss.
Consider this Man of Sorrows,
Who has suffered such anguish too:
He knows every tear that falleth,
He's longing to comfort you.
He alone can give grace and comfort,
He alone can thy grief sustain;
Oh! trust Him then in your sorrow,
'Twill mean your Eternal gain.
Just to learn to know Him better
Will give comfort and peace of mind;
Come closer still to that Heart of Love,
And joy in your sorrow you'll find.
