Encompassed round with dreary shades
Our gloomy state we mourn;
Depressing fear the mind pervades,
Oh when will light return!
When shall disease, with all its train,
Be summoned to depart;
When shall our pastor rise again,
And cheer our drooping heart?
The dread complaint do thou rebuke,
And spare thy servant, Lord;
If thou but give on pitying look,
He soon shall be restored.
Long have we heard his lips proclaim,
The gospel’s joyful sound,
Still may he live to bless thy name,
And spread thy truth around.
Still may we hear his cheering voice,
And find thee in the word;
Our grateful hearts shall then rejoice,
And bless our living Lord.
