Weeping endures but for a night,

by Annie R. Smith

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 312 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Weeping endures but for a night, Joy cometh with the morning light; Joy cometh of celestial birth, Unsullied by the blight of earth.

Verse 2

Joy comes each faithful heart to thrill, That fears of change no more will chill; Transporting joy, that fills the soul While everlasting ages roll.

Verse 3

Then, mourning pilgrim, upward gaze; Beyond this dark and thorny maze A joy for every tear is found, A healing balm for every wound.

Verse 4

No sorrow there shall dim the eye, No wintry winds or storms are nigh, No sighs borne on the fragrant air; But all shall in the glory share.

Verse 5

Awake, for, lo, not distant far, The rising of the Morning Star; O watch to catch the newborn ray That ushers in a cloudless day.

Verse 6

Hail! glorious morn, whose radiant light Shall bid the darkness take its flight; Shall chase the shades of gloom away, And night be turned to endless day.
