Across the barren fields of memory our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace beside the waters of unchanging peace.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair and pine for blessings that can come no more,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye and holds the spirit in its loving arms.

The empty chair beside the hearth remains lies broken on the cold and silent stone,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
