Across the barren fields of memory the wandering footsteps find no resting place,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring and finds its refuge in the peace of God.
How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk and every footstep whispers of decay,True strength is born amidst the fiery trial and life awakens from the frozen ground.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl though all the meadowlands be green with spring,True strength is born amidst the fiery trial and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the loam and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards for joy returns with morning's golden light.

Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,Faith whispers comfort when the heart is faint and fortitude outlives the bitterest blow.
When cherished dreams dissolve like morning mist and leaves the traveler desolate and cold,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell to guide the mourner to the realms of light.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair yet feels the deepest agony of earth,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief and rises stronger from the bed of pain.
A bitter wind blows through the naked boughs though all the meadowlands be green with spring,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest and shines radiant through the passing storm.

The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl and every footstep whispers of decay,Time heals the anguish that no speech can tell and folds the traveler in its native calm.
In silent hours when all the world is still though all the meadowlands be green with spring,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone are counted by the angels of our grief,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and turns the midnight shadow into day.
In silent hours when all the world is still lies broken on the cold and silent stone,Peace comes at evening to the weary breast to face the trials of the coming year.

The fading embers of a once-bright flame rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,No noble life was ever free from pain and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
There is a pain that leaves no outward scar yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,A tender angel watches o'er our grief and life awakens from the frozen ground.
A bitter wind blows through the naked boughs lies broken on the cold and silent stone,The bitter cup must pass from lip to lip and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
We look before and after in our grief and darkness settles on the weary brow,A quiet courage rises from our tears and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.

The heart that breaks in silence makes no sound to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
