Sweet are thy strains celestial BardA
And oft in childhood's yearsB
I've read them o'er and o'er againC
With floods of silent tearsD
The language of my inmost heartE
I traced in every lineF
My sins my sorrows hopes and fearsB
Were there and only mineF
-
All for myself the sigh would swellG
The tear of anguish startE
I little knew what wilder woeH
Had filled the Poet's heartE
-
I did not know the nights of gloomI
The days of miseryJ
The long long years of dark despairK
That crushed and tortured theeJ
-
But they are gone from earth at lengthL
Thy gentle soul is pass'dM
And in the bosom of its GodN
Has found its home at lastM
-
It must be so if God is loveO
And answers fervent prayerK
Then surely thou shalt dwell on highP
And I may meet thee thereK
-
Is he the source of every goodQ
The spring of purityJ
Then in thine hours of deepest woeH
Thy God was still with theeJ
-
How else when every hope was fledR
Couldst thou so fondly clingS
To holy things and holy menC
And how so sweetly singS
-
Of things that God alone could teachT
And whence that purityJ
That hatred of all sinful waysU
That gentle charityJ
-
Are these the symptoms of a heartE
Of heavenly grace bereftV
For ever banished from its GodN
To Satan's fury leftV
-
Yet should thy darkest fears be trueW
If Heaven be so severeX
That such a soul as thine is lostY
Oh how shall I appearX
