LyicsO mourner! who with tender love,
Hast wept beside some infant grave,
Hast thou not sought a Friend above,
Who died thy little one to save?
Then lift thy weary, weeping eye
Above the waves that round thee dwell,
Is not thy darling safe on high?
Canst thou not whisper-It is well?
Yes, it is well-though never more
His infant form to earth be given;
He rests where sin and grief are o'er,
And thou shalt meet thy child in heaven.
