His glance on all doth peace bestow,
And grace and innocence
His preSencs dries the tears Of woe:
The Angel of Patience
And us this angel safely leads
Through all our griefs and cares,
While with our hearts he gently pleads,
And US for heaven prepares.
When weare faInting In despair,
He doth our fears dispel, Sc .E.
Helps US our heavy cross to bear,
And makes, again, all well.
To gentle sorrow he converts hEtI
The most soul piercing smart,
And humbles what false pride peryerts
The erring human heart. r.. Ids

Again with brightness glow, '-
And gweetens all mlsfortunes sour.
