Put thou my tears into thy bottles; are they not in thy book? Psalms 6:9. Divine Answer. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goes forth and weeps bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalms 120:5-6.

If thou canst reap, yet sing the hymns of joy and triumph, remember that this belongs more to he future than to this present world. Here sorrow and faith can be united. Thine enemies have not left and given thee over yet. There is no retreat from the field of battle, before the hour of death. Let this be a cheer to thine impatient heart. But must thou be humbled under the sense of thy misery, so as to fight, groan, and weep very often; consider that this is the very seed for eternity. Not a single tear and groan will be lost. They are all in the book of the Lord.

God counts the sorrows of his saints,
Their groans affect his ears;
He has a book for their complaints,
A bottle for their tears.

The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night,
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.

Let those that sow in sadness wait
’Till the fair harvest come;
They shall confess their sheaves are great.
And shout the blessings home.
