AMAZING COMFORT
Who can describe it?
Who can pen its speech?
Who can make lucid the words?
This comfort in the face of despair,
This comfort in the hands of evil,
This comfort in the time of distress,
This comfort in the time of hardship; Amazing comfort it is.
For what else can we christen
This rest we experience;
This tranquillity when life seems a ridicule?
This rainbow we see in a cloudy sky? Amazing comfort it is!
It is this melody in our hearts
when we should howl.
This glow on our faces
when we should mourn.
This spring in our backyard
when there is drought.
Amazing comfort it is.
