HE WIPES THE TEAR FROM EVERY EYE
Words, Mrs. Mackinlay. Music, Alexander Lee.
Melbourne: Stanley Mullen Pty. Ltd. [n.d.]

When sore afflictions crush the soul
And riven is ev'ry earthly tie
The heart must cling to God alone;
He wipes the tear from ev'ry eye.

Through wakeful nights wen reck'd with pain,
"On bed of languishing" you lie,
Remember still, your God is near,
To wipe the tear from ev'ry eye.

A few short years and all is o'er
Your sorrow, pain, will soon pass by;
Then lean in faith on God's dear Son,
He'll wipe the tear from ev'ry eye.

Oh! Never be your soul cast down
Nor let your heart desponding sigh,
Assur'd that God, whose name is Love,
Will wipe the tear from ev'ry eye.
