sor­row­ing

Shed its beams of light and glo­ry,
Echoes of glo­ry come ev­er
With guilt and fear op­pressed;
The Fa­ther will glad­ly be­stow
The Fa­ther will glad­ly be­stow
Darkest the night, just as dawn­ing so fair,
Longed for the love of hu­man friend,
A smile of glad­ness wore;
But now they taste un­min­gled love,
Whose friends in Je­sus sleep!
Scarcely strength to lift an oar?
