The night passed on, the parent sat,
Her watchful vigils keeping;
Till worn with ceaseless, anxious care,
The morning found her sleeping.
Her watchful vigils keeping;
Till worn with ceaseless, anxious care,
The morning found her sleeping.
She dreamed her infant had revived,
That Heaven had heard her prayer;
She woke—looked on its features, but—
The spirit was not there.
That Heaven had heard her prayer;
She woke—looked on its features, but—
The spirit was not there.
GOD.
God of seasons, God of prayer,
God of heaven, earth and air,
Thou from whom our blessings flow,
While we linger here below,
May we ever worship Thee,
With solemn, deep humility;
May gratitude's undying flame,
Unite with our Redeemer's name.
God of heaven, earth and air,
Thou from whom our blessings flow,
While we linger here below,
May we ever worship Thee,
With solemn, deep humility;
May gratitude's undying flame,
Unite with our Redeemer's name.
God of day and God of night,
God of life and God of light;
Thou who art enthroned above,
God of mercy and of love,
God of life and God of light;
Thou who art enthroned above,
God of mercy and of love,
