At times I find my soul at lowest tone

Tis then I sit and grieve my lost father

Whose tasks sent him in any kind of weather,

To help a fallen soul who felt alone

To strive again. Your load cannot be bourne

By any other; but men must work together

For God commands to love ye one another;

Tb meet, to live, forever near His throne.
