With perfect sympathy and holy peace,

Each solitary soul which comes to Him.

So when we feel this loneliness it is

The voice of Jesus saying, "Come to Me;"

And every time we are "not understood,"

It is a call to us to come again:

For Christ alone can satisfy the soul,

And those who walk with him from day to day

Can never have a "solitary way."

And when beneath some heavy cross you faint,
