XIII.

When in hours of fear and failing,

All but quite our heart despairs; When, with sickness driven to wailing.

Anguish at our bosom tears; Then our loved ones we remember;

All their grief and trouble rue; Clouds close in on our December

And no beam of hope shines through!

Oh but then God bends him o'er us!

Then his love comes very near! Long we heavenward then--before us

Lo, his angel standing clear! Life's cup fresh to us he reaches;

Whispers comfort, courage new; Nor in vain our prayer beseeches

Rest for our beloved ones too.
