Author: Hattie H. Pierson Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 2 #356 (1916) First Line: When the day is sad and drear Refrain First Line: Listen! a voice divine Lyrics: 1 When the day is sad and drear, And the life is full of care; When no friend is nigh to cheer, And the burdens hard to bear, Refrain: Listen! a voice divine, Whispers its message true— “Come to me child of mine, And I will comfort you,” “Come to me child of mine, And I will comfort you.” 2 Though the night be dark and long, Soon will come the break of day; We shall sing the morning song, As the shadows flee away. [Refrain] 3 Loved ones who have gone before Are with Christ at God’s right hand; They shall sorrow nevermore, In that glorious morning land. [Refrain] 4 We with them ere long shall stand, In heav’n’s bright eternal day; And with His own loving hand, God shall wipe all tears away.
