Death & Dying
On the Death of Thomas Beard, Hymn 4
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)
Death & Dying
Thou, Lord, who hast ravish'd away
The joy of mine eyes with a stroke,
To Thee in my trouble I pray,
To Thee for my comfort I look;
No help upon earth can I see,
And deeply disconsolate mourn,
The world is a desert to me,
Till Jesus, and Eden return,
