Black Death Among the Shadows Does Gaily Roam

Black Death Among The Shadows Does Gaily Roam Black death among the shadows did roam deep in solitude its power reigns. Nowhere and everywhere it calls sweet home and always its appearance brings pains. Through fords, over mountains into gentle seas fate sends its messenger in a black shroud. Never to be stopped by the many crying pleas or women moaning and wailing out loud. Its only victorious foe, the light of eternal life where our Redeemer's truth and divine love grows. Delivering us from depths of misery and strife, brought by suffering from fear of death's throes. Black death among the shadows does gaily roam Yet tis forever forbidden in God's sweet home.
