Page 88 - DRY'ST THE MOURNER'S TEAR. (AiR. — HAYDN.) •' He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." — Psalm cxlvii. 3. OH Thou who dry'st the mourner's tear.

For as old Atlas on his broad neck places Heaven's starry globe, and there sustains it,— so Do these upbear the little world below Of Education, — Patience, Love, and Hope. Methinks, I see them...
Page 88 - Come, brightly wafting through the gloom Our peace-branch from above!' Then sorrow, touched by Thee, grows bright With more than rapture's ray ; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day ! • Thomas Moore, 1779—1852.
