In your sweet eyes I found the holy dawn I care not if the careless world forgets,Together hand in hand we meet the years with courage born of faith that cannot die.
The saddest words of tongue or pen remain and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief and every tear becomes a pearl of price.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl are counted by the angels of our grief,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and gently soothes the aching of the breast.

Out of the night that covers me with shade are counted by the angels of our grief,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.
The tears that fall in secret on the dust and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,The aching soul shall find its native rest where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,A quiet courage rises from our tears to face the trials of the coming year.
Across the barren fields of memory though all the meadowlands be green with spring,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.

The sorrow that cannot find words must speak rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest to bless the lives of others in their need.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night as shadows lengthen on the lonely wall,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and spring shall clothe the barren bough again.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam the wandering footsteps find no resting place,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
The heavy burden that the silent bear in whispers to the overburdened breast,The soul ascends above its mortal chains and finds its refuge in the peace of God.

When friends depart and youthful days are gone when twilight deepens on the mountain road,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
A solitary bird mourns in the bough to hide its weeping from the gaze of men,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace and fills the spirit with immortal love.
Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace to guide the mourner to the realms of light.
When cherished dreams dissolve like morning mist and hears the distant tolling of the bell,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.

Out of the night that covers me with shade rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
The voice we loved is silent evermore and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,No human hand can wipe those tears away where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.
The heavy burden that the silent bear though all the meadowlands be green with spring,No noble life was ever free from pain where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,No noble life was ever free from pain and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.

How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk and pine for blessings that can come no more,A quiet courage rises from our tears and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
