-
Seek not to calm my griefB
To stay the falling tearC
Have pity on me ye my friendsD
The hand of God is hereE
-
She was my only oneF
Oh then my love how greatG
Now she is gone my heart and homeH
Are empty desolateI
-
I thought not in my loveJ
That we were doomed to partK
Now I am childless and my fateG
Falls heavy on my heartK
-
O Thou who gave the giftL
Who took the gift awayM
Who only can heal up the woundN
Give answer while I prayM
-
Do Thou send comfort downO
All goodness as Thou artK
Even in Thy last passion ThouP
Didst soothe a mother's heartK
-
I would not take her backQ
From Thee from Heaven and blissR
Though yearning for her twining armsS
And happy loving kissR
-
I miss her bounding stepT
Her voice of bird like gleeU
Yet thank Thee I had such a childV
To give her back to TheeU
-
Father my child my childV
Is laid beneath the sodW
and oh with quivering lips I tryX
To kiss the chastening rodW
-
Father Thy will be doneF
Oh make my will the sameY
And teach me in this trying hourZ
To glorify Thy nameY
