Oh forgive me, dear Saviour ! on heaven's bright shore Should I still in my child find a separate joy : While I lie in the light of Thy face evermore, May I think heaven brighter because of my boy? — 113 AFTER A DEATH, HE grief that was delayed so long, O Lord ! hath come at last ; Blest be Thy name for present pain, And for the weary past ! Yet, Father ! I have looked so long Upon the coming grief, That what should grieve my heart the most Seems almost like relief. Alas ! then, did I love the ...dead As well as he loved me ? Or have I sought myself alone Rather than him or Thee ? — 114 HYMNS FOR THE BEREAVED. To fear is harder than to weep ; To watch, than to endure ; The hardest of all griefs to bear Is a grief that is not sure. As on a watch-tower did I stand, Like one that looks in fear. And sees an overwhelming host O'er hill and dale draw near. The bitterness each day brought forth Was more than I could bear, And hope's uncertainty was worse Than positive despair. I grew more unprepared for grief Which had so long been stayed ; The blow seemed more impossible.
