"Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee... who passing through the valley of Baca (i.e., weeping), make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.... Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God" (Psalm 84:5-7). "All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast" (Proverbs 15:15). "Then shall the King say unto them... I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.... Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me" (Matthew 25:34,40).
Lord, lead us now through this valley of tears
With joy that will spread forth Your feast,
As each of us, thereby, before You appears
Whenever we comfort the least.
In all of their days the afflicted have sorrow;
Lord, show us to whom we should go
To show them Your love and a brighter tomorrow,
That each of Your children may know.
Until we're assembled one day at Your throne,
And the valley of tears is behind,
Lord, teach us to serve You by serving Your own
With words and with deeds that are kind.
