Groping on in darkness drear,

When the storms are raging sore,

Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er

Whisper softly, wanderer come!

Follow me, I'll guide thee home.

3 When our days of toil shall cease,

Waiting still for sweet release,

Nothing left but heaven and prayer,

Wondering if our names were there;

Wading deep the dismal flood,
