Will fill thy heart, and in his mercy love thee,
And on thy weakness bend a pitying eye,
   And in thy need draw nigh.

And now, farewell! the early morn will wake thee
Unto a fearful sight, thy mother, child,
   Dead in a forest-wild;
And sudden sorrow, like a storm will shake thee,
But God will still the tempest in thy breast—
   A blessing on thee rest!
