In the light of two different friends losing their babies in the last week, my heart has been heavy. I’ve been there. I remember. But as this very old song reminds me, “earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.”
Come, Ye Disconsolate
Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
“Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.”
Here see the Bread of Life, see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
by Thomas Moore, 1816
Be encouraged and comforted today!

This weekend I had a baby shower for my dear friend who miscarried three years ago and then dealt with infertility. Jesus really is the great healer. Thanks for pointing us all back to Him.

Thanks for posting the great hymn, “Come, Ye Disconsolate.” It’s a wonderful reminder that even when others don’t understand what we’re going through, the Lord does. The following link has posted the most beautiful rendition of the hymn I’ve ever heard.
