Lyics

O MAY the orphan be

By our abundance blest;

O may the wanderer find our gate,

And there securely rest.



Let him who pines with cold,

By us be warm'd and clad;

Be ours the blissful task to make

The downcast mourner glad.



Then, bright as morn, shall move

In peace and joy our days;

And glory from the Lord above,

Shall shine on all our ways.
