O Mine Eyes, Be Not So Tearful
words: Phoebe Cary; Music: Jonathan Gabhart

lyrics

Verse 1
O mine eyes, be not so tearful!
Drooping spirit, rise, be cheerful;
Heavy soul, why are you fearful?

Nature's grave is breaking,
And the earth, her gloom forsaking,
Into life and light is waking.

Chorus 1
Oh the weakness and the madness
Of a heart that holds such sadness
When all else is light and gladness!

Verse 2
Though your treasure death has taken,
They that sleep are not forsaken :
They shall hear the trumpet sound, and waken.

Shall not He, who life suppling
To the dead seed where its lying
Quicken also us who are dying

Yea, the power of death was ended
When He, who to hell descended,
Rose, and up to heaven ascended.

Chorus 2
Rise, my soul, then, from dejection:
See in nature the reflection
Of the dear Lord's resurrection.

Let this promise leave thee never:
"If the might of death I sever,
You shall also live forever!
You shall also live forever!"
