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.
