HYMN BY THE SICKBED OF A MOTHER.
Father! that in the olive shade
When the dark hour came on,
Didst, with a breath of heavenly aid,
Strengthen thy Son;
When the dark hour came on,
Didst, with a breath of heavenly aid,
Strengthen thy Son;
Oh! by the anguish of that night,
Send us down bless'd relief;
Or to the chasten'd, let thy might
Hallow this grief!
Send us down bless'd relief;
Or to the chasten'd, let thy might
Hallow this grief!
And Thou, that when the starry sky
Saw the dread strife begun,
Didst teach adoring faith to cry,
“Thy will be done;”
Saw the dread strife begun,
Didst teach adoring faith to cry,
“Thy will be done;”
By thy meek spirit, Thou, of all
That e'er have mourn'd the chief—
Thou Saviour! if the stroke must fall,
Hallow this grief!
That e'er have mourn'd the chief—
Thou Saviour! if the stroke must fall,
Hallow this grief!
