The lark’s on the wing;
Burdened heart, thy sor­row shar­ing,
The good Shep­herd stands, call­ing, call­ing:
As he paused be­neath my win­dow,
So is my love among the daughters
Ere found the Rose’s glo­ry
He was taken to the judg­ment seat
Let us keep the wheat and ros­es,

the thorn

Along the sto­ny way,
God is in His Heav­en—
Is He thine?
Yet He loved men then, and He loves us now,
Hark! to you I bear the sto­ry,
As the apple tree among the trees
And now to Heav­en trans­plant­ed
And crown­èd with the thorn.
Let us find our sweet­est com­fort
