All those clasps around my heart
Fall away, and am left

To what depths Of woe drop,
Seeking yainly for some prop
All sufficient to sustain
One in loneliness and pain.
Like u drowning man reach
Upward and for aid beseech.

Well supported by his hand.

Ever near; where'er be,
Whispers gently, Lean ON me-"

Heavenly ties alone endure
And my idols all were slain
That might this knowledge gain.
