The mantle of affliction covers every waking hour where timeless slumber blankets every mortal tear and sigh,The longest night must yield at last to the returning dawn and gives to mortal frailty the strength to overcome.

Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream and hears the distant tolling of the bell,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast and holds the spirit in its loving arms.
The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place lies broken on the cold and silent stone,A tender angel watches o'er our grief and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
The dreams we cherished turned to ashes in the autumn frost and drowns the fragile vessel in the tempest of despair,No sorrow lasts forever in this changing sphere of dust and lights a quiet beacon on the far eternal shore.
The heart that breaks in silence makes no sound and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and every tear becomes a pearl of price.

The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place and pine for blessings that can come no more,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
The mantle of affliction covers every waking hour while lonely vigils lengthen through the terror of the night,In every broken vessel rests a sacred drop of peace and plants a solemn lily on the grave of mortal loss.
Out of the night that covers me with shade in whispers to the overburdened breast,No night so dark but morning comes at last and folds the traveler in its native calm.
Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,No night so dark but morning comes at last and finds its dwelling in eternal day.

The sweetest cup of life was shattered on the stony ground while sorrow keeps its vigil by the embers of the hearth,Yet even in the deepest pit the bruised heart must beat and gives to mortal frailty the strength to overcome.
The lonely watcher marks the waning light and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest to bless the lives of others in their need.
A phantom shadow sits beside the cold and empty chair and strikes the tender blossom down before its fruit was born,The tempest expends its fury and the quiet sea returns and brings the deep tranquility that worldly tumult flees.
We look before and after in our grief rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and heals the broken heart forevermore.

Out of the night that covers me with shade the mournful whisper that it might have been,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
