While sorrow clouds thy brightest day,
And shroada thee 10 its gloomy pall-
Let net thy faiatiry spirit shrink
The bitter cup Of voc to drink,
ThY fathers ueYerrCeasing care
Win give thee strength thy cross TO bear.
Though one by one thy loged ones fade
From earth, and take their heayeuward flight,
Through realms Of everlasting shade
To Gods eternal mansions bright
Though all thy earthly hopes be fed,
AL buried with the sleeping dead,
Thy Savior's love ID left to thee
IT'S pure and faithful, strong and free.
And though the sky be dark and drear,
Though tempests howl around thy head;
Yet while thou art lingering here
The thorny paths Of life 10 tread
Remember thou hast still a friend
Whose prayers for thee snail still ascend
TO Hin whose soothing grace alone
Can hear and bless the orphans moan.
