Our falt’ring footsteps from the way of death;

Thy Angels true are sent to fainting souls,

And lovingly their voices soft are heard

Peace! troubled hearts, hereafter all shall be

Made up in heaven. Know that sufferings

Are sent in love that we may minister,

To all your needs, and bear you safely home

To that good land ordained for all mankind—

The kingdom bright—of happiness and love,

Whereon your lives shall ever be a rest
