But in His mercy He may give
His cup unto our parching lips
/ have heard His gentle footballs
In the silences of night
When wracked with pain and agony
BY wars embittered blight;
| have heard His garments rustic
| By my restless, tossing bed;
| have felt His hand in mercy
Lift my fever throbbing head;
| have quaffed the cup He gave me
Bringing peace and blessed sleep
Thru the long night watches
keeping
Vigil while the hours creep.

An autoist stepped his car in town
