[THE MOURNER’S CONSOLATION.]

Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

2 Cor. iv. 17.

O! Let him whose sorrow

No relief can find,

Trust in God, and borrow

Ease for heart and mind.

Where the mourner weeping

Sheds the secret tear,

God his watch is keeping,

Though none else is near.
