Lyrics
Every night and every morn
some to misery are born;
every morn and every night
some are born to sweet delight.
Joy and woe are woven fine,
clothing for the soul divine:
under every grief and pine
runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so:
we were made for joy and woe;
and when this we rightly know,
safely through the world we go.
