They Shall Be Comforted

They shall be com­fort­ed

sor­row­ing heart;

Soon ev­ery cloud will for­ev­er de­part;

Joy

won­drous joy

in that beau­ti­ful day

When God shall wipe ev­ery tear­drop away

When God shall wipe ev­ery tear­drop away.

Never a sor­row

nev­er a fear

Never a sha­dow

nev­er a tear;

They shall be com­fort­ed in that sweet day

When God shall wipe ev­ery tear­drop away.

They shall be com­fort­ed

Je­sus says so;

True and eter­nal His pro­mise

we know;

Gentle His smile

and how ten­der His voice

Bidding His child­ren in Him to re­joice

Bidding His child­ren in Him to re­joice.

They shall be com­fort­ed

yea

ev­en here;

Blessèd the mourn­er whom Je­sus shall cheer;

Sunbeams of glo­ry thro’ times fleet­ing show­ers

Heaven around us—this Sav­ior is ours!

Heaven around us—this Sav­ior is ours!

They shall be com­fort­ed

rise

then

and shine;

Shine in the beau­ty of love so di­vine;

Let oth­ers find where the still wa­ters flow

They may be com­fort­ed

Je­sus says so;

They may be com­fort­ed

Je­sus says so.
