Our sins and errors be forgiven;
And we, from day to day be found
Children of God and heirs of heaven.”

Our grief allays, our fear controls;
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.”

To rest on what the Almighty saith!”

Of poverty or woe.”

That guides the Christian’s way,
Directs his wanderings from afar
To realms of endless day.”

And bids us view a happier clime,
Where verdant fields in beauty rise,
Beyond the withering blasts of time;
And brings the blissful moment near,
When we in glory shall appear.”
