Our shHrpest pang. our blitercst tear,
On thee we east each esrthborn care,
We smile vt pain while tbou art near.
Though long the weary WAY we tread.
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun. no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, thou art neal
When dropping pleasure Turns to gricf
And trembling faith IL changed to fear,
The murmuring wind. the quivering leaf,
Shall softly tell us, thou art near!
On thee we fling our hurdening woe,

Content to suffer. while we know,
Living and dying, thou art near.
