The Plea and the Solemn Prayer
The Plea And The Solemn Prayer
Shall thy hand, close these ancient, dying eyes
or answer as before my sadden cries?
As dawn wakes, will thee my soul now forsake
and in thy divine Light then this soul take.
In thy mercy, will thee grant me more years
allow me to live, with new joyful tears?
Pray thee, giveth truth, set my course a'new
burn away darkness, give sight that is true.
Sun risen, bless this soul to rise again
guide this heart to benefit other men.
Answer this sad plea, I give thee this vow
I shall stay thy fold, as thee shows me how.
