“Blessed are they that mourn.” Matt. 5. 4; Isa. 61. 3

1 Jesus, the glorious Head of grace,
  Knows every saint’s peculiar case;
  What sorrows by their souls are borne,
  And how for sin they daily mourn.

2 He knows how deep their groanings are,
  And what their secret sighs declare;
  And, for their comfort, has expressed
  That all such mourning souls are blessed.

3 They’re blessed on earth, for ’tis by grace
  They see and know their mournful case;
  Blest mourners! they shall shortly rise
  To endless comfort in the skies.

4 There all their mourning days shall cease,
  And they be filled with joy and peace;
  Comforts eternal they shall prove,
  And dwell for ever in his love.

5 [Dear Lord, may I a mourner be,
  Over my sins and after thee;
  And when my mourning days are o’er,
  Enjoy thy comforts evermore.]
