[V1]


O heart bowed down with sorrow!
O eyes that long for sight!
There’s gladness in the believing;
In Jesus there is light.

(Come, O come, all ye that labor;)
and ... are heavy laden, and I …… will give you rest ………

Earth’s fleeting gain and pleasure,
Can never satisfy;
‘Tis love our joy doth measure,
For love can never die.
