O Blessed word, our Lord express'd

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CXXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Blessed word, our Lord express'd, To the poor widow much distress'd-- When thus he saw her weep and mourn: The death and loss of her dear son. 2 Weep not poor widow, said our Lord, O! what a consolating word! A word of comfort evermore, By which the Saviour prov'd his pow'r. 3 It calm'd her sorrows, eas'd her pain, When Christ restor'd her son again; What more could she on earth request, To set her troubled heart to rest. 4 What we esteem of greatest worth, And do prefer to all on earth: Is often soon removed hence, And we bewail the consequence. 5 But all must answer for our good, Though its a cross to flesh and blood; Our deepest sorrows, tears and cries, Can work the greatest weight of joys. 6 For all our sorrows, woes, and grief, The Saviour brings about relief; All his corrections in the end, Proves him to be our greatest friend. Topics: 16th Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Luke 7:11-17 Languages: English
