Joad |
Cease thy anguish, smile once more, |
Let thy tears no longer flow! |
Judah’s God, whom we adore, |
Soon to joy will change thy woe. |
Josabeth |
All his mercies I review, |
Gladly with a grateful heart, |
And I trust he will renew |
Blessings he did once impart. |
Both |
Whate’er this tyrant may decree, |
Returning joys we soon shall see. |
