When Human Hopes And Joys Depart,
I Give Thee, Lord, A Contrite Heart;
And On My Weary Spirit Steal
The Thoughts That Pass All Earthly Weal.
I Cast Above My Tearful Eyes,
And Muse Upon The Starry Skies;
And Think That He Who Governs There
Still Keeps Me In His Guardian Care.
I Gaze Upon The Opening Flower,
Just Moistened With The Evening Shower;
And Bless The Love Which Made It Bloom,
To Chase Away My Transient Gloom.
I Think, Whenever This Mortal Frame
Returns Again To Whence It Came,
My Soul Shall Wing Its Happy Flight
To Regions Of Eternal Light
