"I shall be with you!" through all your pain and tears I shall be with you when you are torn with fears; I shall be with you if life your heart should break; I shall be with your soul and all its burdens take. "I shall be with you!" when toil and suffering end, I shall be with you as you go round life's bend; I shall be with you when gladness is reborn; For I shall be with you until the last great dawn. —Selected Ellen G.
