Why did Henry leave?
It wasn‘t Henry’s choice.
We pleaded for reprieve,
But God denied our voice.
Both joy and pain are from God‘s hand.
Who can understand?
He comforts every one who mourns,
But first a taste of sorrow.
We want at once His helping grace,
He waits until the morrow.
He lets us fall upon our face
Before He lifts His hand.
His garden‘s roses come with thorns.
Who can understand?
Now Henry sees what we do not,
Enthroned in bliss.
He misses those he left behind,
But prays like this:
Would the Lord would call us too
To share his lot.
If we must wait, then understand
That we will find
All trials come with blessings new
From God‘s rich hand
