O heart bereaved and lonely

O heart bereaved and lonely
Whose brightest dreams have fled
Whose hopes like summer roses
Are withered crushed and dead
Though link by link be broken
And tears unseen may fall
Look up amid thy sorrow
To him who knows it all

O cling to thy redeemer
Thy savior, brother, friend
Believe and trust his promise
To keep you till the end
O watch and wait with patience
And question all you will
His arms of love and mercy
Are round about thee still

Look up, the clouds are breaking
The storm will soon be o'er
And thou shall reach the haven
Where sorrows are no more
Look up, be not discouraged
Trust on, whate'er befall
Remember, o remember
Thy savior knows it all
