Then brighter hopes will come again,
And fill with JOY your aching breast
And sad misgiyings too, will rise,

And grant sufficient competence, ais

In social groups no more you'll see.

And in the church, you'll see no more,
My humble form in suppliance how'd,
No more with me your prayers you'll pour,
In ardent fervency to God.
Then will you raise one heartfelt prayer?
One earnest cry TO Godin heaven,
