Why the comins night bemoang

Wrap thy cloak around thy form;
Through the tempest rise in power,

Animate the trusting breast,
Step by step the journeys taken,
Nearer to the land Of rest.
Grief, nor pain, norany sorrow
Reuds the heart, to God nnkncvn:

Grace sufficient gives His own.
Holy striyings nerve and strengthen.
Long endurance wins the crown;
When the evening shadows leugthan,
Thou shalt lay thee gently down.
