Why should the Christian waste in sighs
The breath that God hath giv'n;
Whom ev'ry passing hour that flies
Bears onward fast to heav'n?
Why should he wish for perfect bliss.
In this dark world forlorn;
Or seek, amidst the wilderness,
A rose without a thorn.
Our Father God! be ours the grief.
Which to thy sons belongs;
And let us share in their relief.
Their everlasting songs.
