The world esteems delight.

2There is a star, a lovely star,

That lights the darkest gloom,

And sheds a peaceful radiance o'er

The prospects of the tomb.

3There is a voice, a cheering voice,

That lifts the soul above,

Dispels the painful, anxious doubt,

And whispers, "God is love."

4That voice, aloud from Calvary's height,
