How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,A tender angel watches o'er our grief and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
The saddest words of tongue or pen remain and pine for blessings that can come no more,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and life awakens from the frozen ground.

The saddest words of tongue or pen remain and sings a dirge for summer's golden hours,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain and folds the traveler in its native calm.
The tears that fall in secret on the dust and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,Pain carves the vessel for celestial grace where troubled hearts at last repose in peace.
The empty chair beside the hearth remains when twilight deepens on the mountain road,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar the mournful whisper that it might have been,A tender angel watches o'er our grief when earthly shadows flee forevermore.

The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam a quiet witness of the vanished past,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
The heavy shadow falls across the hearth and count the treasures that we held in vain,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine and looks beyond the sorrow of the dust.
A heavy heart makes weary all our steps our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,The soul ascends above its mortal chains and turns the midnight shadow into day.
No comfort comes from shallow words of men when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night to bless the lives of others in their need.

How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain for joy returns with morning's golden light.
The voice we loved is silent evermore and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,No human hand can wipe those tears away and points the seeker to the eternal day.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,The soul endures what mortal flesh must weep and every tear becomes a pearl of price.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak lies broken on the cold and silent stone,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest for joy returns with morning's golden light.

Across the barren fields of memory yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,No night so dark but morning comes at last where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire and left our harbor empty in the rain,Hope whispers faintly through the darkest gloom and looks beyond the sorrow of the dust.
Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and holds the spirit in its loving arms.
Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,True strength is born amidst the fiery trial to face the trials of the coming year.

Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,The soul ascends above its mortal chains and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
