LENT AND LOST.
Of Mary, by heav'n lent,
Heav'n has bereft us;
And from her home all comfort went,
When Mary left us.
Heav'n has bereft us;
And from her home all comfort went,
When Mary left us.
201
We fear no ills, no foes,
Though they surround us;
Pass on, thou cloud of many woes!
The worst has found us.
Though they surround us;
Pass on, thou cloud of many woes!
The worst has found us.
If lowest cannot fall,
Need we be wary?
We lost fear, joy, hope, danger, all,
When we lost Mary.
Need we be wary?
We lost fear, joy, hope, danger, all,
When we lost Mary.
In vain, vex'd Sea of Change,
Thou thy rocks chafest!
Secure, thy dreaded verge we range:
Saddest is safest.
Thou thy rocks chafest!
Secure, thy dreaded verge we range:
Saddest is safest.
