Verse 1
Can we mourn, as broken-hearted,
We who hang upon thy love,
Jesus, for our sake departed
To thy Father’s house above?
Source of all our consolations,
There we our Forerunner see:
In those lasting habitations
Thou hast found a place for me.
Verse 2
All our hopes and souls we venture
On thy never-failing word,
Sure into thy joy to enter,
Sure to triumph with our Lord;
Though we fall into distresses,
Into countless trials fall,
When thy love in death releases,
Heaven shall make amends for all.
