Weep, weep, for earth's bereaved ones, Rejoice! their course is run, The blossoms earth hath folded Bloom 'neath the heavenly sun; But with the song of angels, From yon blue heavens blend, A voice is heard in Ramah Of wailing and lament. 2. O roses of the morning, O fadeless flowers of spring Cull'd for the Master's garden A sinless offering: The icy blast of winter Had chill'd ye with its breath, But 'mid the summer bowers Ye passed to life from death. 3. Oh weep not for thy loved ones, Though they have passed away, They dwell with God, the first-fruits Of everlasting day: Where sound of harpers, harping Resounds the groves among, Their infant voices swelling Raise high the glad new song. 4. The Lamb they follow ever 'Mid sunny pastures green, In robes of purest whiteness In glorious silver sheen: Where voice of many waters Rolls on the throne before, They dwell beside the Fountain Of Life for evermore. 5. Then let not thought of sadness Dim Christmas joy and mirth, Their angels sing in gladness The promised Saviour's birth: Their wintry storms are ended, Though with a crimson glow The roses of their bridal Have stained the virgin snow. 6. Though Bethlehem of Judah The Son of sorrow bore, The Son of consolation He lives for evermore: Look up! oh mournful mother, And let no voice of wail Be with the wild winds sighing Borne mingled on the gale.
