By sins and sorrows driven;

When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,

Where storms arise and ocean rolls,

And all is drear—but heaven.

3 There faith lifts up the tearless eye,

The heart with anguish riven;

It views the tempest passing by,

Sees evening shadows quickly fly,

And all serene—in heaven.

4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
