4. Though Love may weep with breaking heart

At the Burial of the Dead

IV. The Light in Darkness.

Though Love may weep with breaking heart, There comes, O Christ, a Day of Thine, There is a Morning Star must shine, And all these shadows shall depart.

Though Faith may droop and tremble here, That Day of light shall surely come; His path has led him safely home; When twilight breaks the dawn is near.

Though Hope seem now to have hoped in vain, And Death seem king of all below, There yet shall come the Morning-glow, And wake our slumberers once again.

Mag auch die Liebe weinen
