Her dazzling crown, her sceptred throne,

Affection's wreath, a happy home;

The right to worship deep and pure,

To bless the orphan, feed the poor;

Last at the cross to mourn her Lord, [20]

First at the tomb to hear his word:

To fold an angel's wings below;

And hover o'er the couch of woe;

To nurse the Bethlehem babe so sweet,

The right to sit at Jesus' feet; [25]
