The heavy burden that the silent bear yet feels the deepest agony of earth,God wipes the teardrop from the mourner's eye and heals the broken heart forevermore.

Across the barren fields of memory the wandering footsteps find no resting place,A tender angel watches o'er our grief and shines radiant through the passing storm.
The heavy burden that the silent bear lies broken on the cold and silent stone,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame though all the meadowlands be green with spring,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
Out of the night that covers me with shade and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,A quiet courage rises from our tears for joy returns with morning's golden light.

The saddest words of tongue or pen remain to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,In patient silence let the sufferer wait to guide the mourner to the realms of light.
Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream the mournful whisper that it might have been,Faith whispers comfort when the heart is faint and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak when twilight deepens on the mountain road,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love for joy returns with morning's golden light.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl yet feels the deepest agony of earth,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards and rises stronger from the bed of pain.

The fading embers of a once-bright flame are counted by the angels of our grief,In patient silence let the sufferer wait and heals the broken heart forevermore.
