Shut in shut In from the ceaseless din
OF the restless world, and It's wants ard sin;
And all the wearisome round OF life
Shut in with tears that are spent in vain.
With the dun companionship of pain;
shut in with the changeless days and hours
Ard the bitter knowledge OF failing powers

With buried hopes that We're born to die;
Shut in with the hopes that have lost their zes''

And lean the promises strong ana great
