And no mortal was able to save,
Thou didst brighten the valley of death,
And illumine the gloom of the grave.
5 In mercy thy presence dispels
The shades of adversity’s night,
And turns the sad scene of despair
To a morning of joy and delight.
6 Great source of my comforts restored,
Thou healer and balm of my woes!
Thou hope and desire of my soul!
