Never Mourn

Never mourn a chilly dawn
When still it dries the dew
Never mourn the summit reached
When the next peak’s in view

Never mourn the fallen tree
When now’s revealed the moon
Never mourn one herald bud-
‘Means spring is coming soon.

Never mourn a cloudy night
When stars cannot be killed
Never mourn the river’s flight
When the sea is all but filled!

Never mourn the end of light
When dawn is at her loom
Never mourn the fall of dusk
Each midnight has its noon.

Never mourn the earthly trial
When promises were made
By effectively pierced hands
To see your ransom paid.

Never mourn the loss of that
Which can’t persist in heaven
Never mourn the loss of that
Which purges you of leaven

Never mourn the cords of love
That no weapon can sever
Never mourn the manacles
Which bind you to forever

Never mourn the price He paid
Which no man can annul
Never over-mourn the sin
That’s been atoned in full
