| In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and He did hear my voice out of His temple, and my cry did enter into His ears. (2 Sam. 22:7) |
| To appoint unto them that mourn … to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. (Isa. 61:3) |
I bring my grief to Thee,
The grief I cannot tell;
No words shall needed be;
Thou knowest all so well. |
My joys to Thee I bring,
The joys Thy love has given,
That each may be a wing
To lift me nearer heaven. |
