by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Selig sind die da Leid tragen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gott hat dir Weh und Gram geschickt, 
Dein Sinn ist schwer; 
Dein Aug' empor in Thränen blickt 
So freudenleer. 

O nicht dem Schmerz darfst du dich weih'n, 
Herz, sei erfreut!  
Es heißt ja:  Selig sollen sein,  
Die tragen Leid. 

Confirmed with Urania. Eine Musik-Zeitschrift für Alles, achtundzwanzigster Jahrgang ed. by Alexander Wilhelm Gottschalg, Erfurt: G. W. Körner, 1871. Appears in issue no. 9, page 130.
