3 "They tell me, Lord, that al
The living pass away;
The aged soon must die,
And even children may
Oh! let my parents live

Till I a woman grow,
For if they die, what can
A little orphan do ?"
"Fear not, my child,
Whatever ills may come;

I'll not forsake thee e'er,
Until I bring thee home."

4 The little prayer was said,

And from her chamber now
She passed forth with the light
Of heaven upon her brow.
"Mother, I've seen the Lord-
His hand in mine I felt,
And oh! I heard him say,
As by my chair I knelt,

Fear not, my child,
Whatever ills may come;
I'll not forsake thee e'er
Until I bring thee home.'

Singing.

I I love thy church, O God,

Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.

2 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given

The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2: 1–3.
