Come, brightly wafting through the gloom

Our peace-branch from above?

5Then sorrow touched by thee grows bright,

With more than rapture's ray;

The darkness shows us worlds of light

We never saw by day.

"God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble."

1Bereft of all, when hopeless care

Would sink us to the tomb,
