IT'S wonderful story of dath'css love,
Each chi'ds so dear to that besrt above
Who pleads for us in lIi' fathers sight
Who comforts us in the glo I'M o? nigh;
Who lifts our bur len. for he is ronc;
Who stills the sigh and awakes The song.
The sUr.ow that bows us down he bears,
And loves and pard1ns because hc cares
Let AL who are sa take heart ag 10;
We are not alone in our hours OF pain:
Our father s'oops from His throne above,
To sootho ana luiet us with his love:
lie leaves us not when the Storm is high.
And we have safety, for lie is nigh;
Can it be trouble which he doth share?
Oh, rest in peace, for the Lord will care
