O, deem not they are blest alone

Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #691 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; For God, who pities man, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. 2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. 3 There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may bide an evening guest, 4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though with a sad and broken heart, He sees his hopes most cherished die. 5 For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.
