LyicsO LOVE Divine, that stoop'd to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee is cast each earth-born care;
We smile at pain while Thou art near.
Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crown each ling'ring year,
No path we shun, no darness dread.
Our hearts still whisp'ring Thou art near.
On Thee we fling our burd'ning woe,
O Love Divine, forever dear,
Content to suffer while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near!
