“WHY WEEPEST THOU?”

1. Let not the eyes of faith be dimmed with tears.
Our sighs and sobs the sad world sees and hears.
The path of faith we cannot see, much less point out the way
To others climbing up today.
We must our hope and joy display!

Chorus
O soul, “Why weepest thou’?
Then smile, and do it now!
So close behind the Master stands
And speaks our name again.
In God’s dear garden there must be
“For good” both sun and rain.

2. Let not the eyes of faith be dimmed with tears.
But give to God our foolish, haunting fears,
Because we cannot see Him is no sign He isn’t there.
He longs to fold away each care,
And wreathe our face with smiles so fair.
