Ah, there are moments for us here, when, seeing
Life’s inequalities, and woe, and care,
The burdens laid upon our mortal being
Seem heavier than the human heart can bear.

And though hard be the task,
"Keep a stiff upper lip!"

Father, perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death,
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith!
