To aid, where need may be;
We hope,--and have despaired at times;
But now we turn to thee!
5Send down thy sweet-souled angel, God!
Amidst the darkness wild,
And bid him soothe our souls to-night,
And heal our gentle child!
931. C. M. Heber.
In Times of Domestic Distress.
1O God, that madest earth and sky!
