Lyics

When grief and anguish press me down,

And hope and comfort flee, 

I cling, O Father, to thy throne, 

And stay my heart on thee.



When death invades my peaceful home,

The sunder'd ties shall be

A closer bond, in time to come,

To bind my heart to Thee.



Lord, "Not my will, but thine, be done:"

My soul, from fear set free,

Her faith shall anchor at thy throne, 

And trust alone in thee.
