Mighty Lord, Heavenly Judge,

Suffer me not to perish;

Grant me strength to overcome my woe.

To live out my life on these sacred hills:

To glorify Thee and rejoice in Thy beauty,

And at last, though beaten by the people’s sins. [[101]]

To be buried on these lofty hills,

And to abide on them.”

He dried his tears,

Hot tears, though not the tears of youth;
