Where the wearied NAV repair.
The heavy burden bringing
Vi sin and despair.
A hive of honeyed treasure,
Distilled from Eden's bowers;
Where heaven born hopes, with pleasure
May feed in wintry hours.
Drink fer the soul that's thirsting,
Comfort for those that fear,
Balm for the heart when bursting,
May all be gathered here.
What added boon is wanting:
The blessing, Lord! must give,

To read, believe, and live!
