All billows of the soul, e’en like His voice

That said of old—“Be still!” Sing me that strain,

“The Saviour’s dying hour.”

Jessy sings to the Harp.

O Son of Man!

In thy last mortal hour

Shadows of earth closed round thee fearfully!

All that on us is laid,

All the deep gloom,

The desolation and the abandonment,
