With feelings son, with pity bland
And with fathers care.

The widow, orphan, youth and age
Whose sorrows thou die'st assuage.
Shall mourn thee when away
Yes. thousands shall thy kill confess,
And oft its tribute bring,
When Christ 10y Iabors here shall bless,
Beyoad the limits Of distress,
Where joy shall neer take wing. JJR
