Thy presence is the sanctuary I seek when worldly tempests shake the fragile bark,Forever in thy presence I abide and warms the hearthstone of the lonely breast.
A bitter frost has settled on the plain and ask for shelter they can never find,Sorrows are teachers sent by hands divine and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,From broken shards a noble temple grows to guide the wanderer to the gates of grace.

The cold wind sighs across the barren moor and earth is poorer for that gentle tone,The quiet grave receives our weary dust and hallows every memory of our loss.
A vacant chair beside the dying fire and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and scatter radiance on the weeping eyes.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night and ask for shelter they can never find,The wounded heart must learn to bleed alone and looks beyond the sorrow of the dust.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the ground beneath the silent burden of our tears,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace until the peace of heaven heals the mind.

No comfort comes from shallow words of men remind the soul of joys that could not stay,No night so dark but morning comes at last and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
The weight of sorrow bows the weary head and chills the blood within the sorrowing vein,The twilight passes into eternal dawn and points the seeker to the eternal day.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night and felt the darkness enter in our souls,The wounded heart must learn to bleed alone and find in solitude its quiet strength.
A wounded spirit seeks the silent grove to hide its weeping from the gaze of men,Time softens anguish into sacred calm until the peace of heaven heals the mind.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar the patient spirit bows beneath the rod,Hope builds its temple from the broken shards and finds its dwelling in eternal day.
A broken melody upon the lute recalls the voice that spoke of ancient peace,Time softens anguish into sacred calm to face the morrow with an upright brow.
The flowers withered in the sudden frost and all the sweetness of the spring is fled,From broken shards a noble temple grows where every tear is wiped away for aye.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and strips the forest of its summer crown,Time softens anguish into sacred calm and stands unshaken by the winds of fate.

The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,No noble life was ever free from pain and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
In lonely chambers of the sleepless night beneath the silent burden of our tears,We sow in sorrow what we reap in peace to guide the wanderer to the gates of grace.
The ship sailed outward never to return as shadows lengthen on the lonely wall,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and turns the darkest sorrow into light.
The autumn leaves fall softly to the ground where sorrow sits in solemn company,The night is long but morning must return and purifies the soul from earthly dross.

In silent hours when all the world is still when grief sits sovereign in the troubled mind,No night so dark but morning comes at last and heals the broken heart forevermore.
