From Sorrow to Joy— Hannah

I witness again today the birth of another child

My husband’s second wife her scorn is nothing mild

Relentless she mocks be day by day for my bareness

My heart it aches to give a child love and tenderness

My husband loves me this I know for sure

His love and care he sheds on me is so very pure

He’d love me in my bareness for all of his days

I can’t help this emptiness to the Lord I pray

God smiled on me for now I have a son

My heart is full of so much joy I am undone

I asked God for him and He gave me joy

I now have my first born son oh my baby boy

I came to the Lord in desperate need I was in distress

I called upon His name so mighty to Him I will address

My need so great to change my fate for I want to bring

My life before Him to His throne a new life that sings
