+ In All Time Of Agony,
Widowed Queen ! most desolate 'Mid the splendor of thy
State—Earthly crown hath ever a thorn ! Take comfort in thy sore distress ,
The Father of the fatherless Will not unheeded let thee
mourn—Those whom Pie loves He chasteneth , ; And by this fiery anguish tried ,
Strengthened , ennobled , purified , Thou shalt live for aye by thy loved one ' s side
In the Land that knows not Death . So in all time of agony
And in all time of fear , Cry unto Him , and thoug , h low thy cry
He will bend down and hear . Far up above the bright blue sky
Yet He is ever near , For He the Lord hath , sworn to be
Our Kefuge through Eternity .
