Chapter 9

The Lonely Cry (Poem)


spacer
spacer


When sorrows deep our trembling hearts ensnare,

When friends have fled, abandoning us to care,

All human conflict gone and we're alone,

Oh Heavenly Father hear our spirit's groan.

¾

What heart can feel our soul's lone misery?

No arms outstretched to comfort tenderly,

Pour out Thy grace when cries the anguished soul

May Gilead's balm heal us, and make us whole.

¾

Storm rages stronger, dark the night ahead

Alone Thy Presence soothes our troubled head,

Grant to thy lambs the so/ace Thou can'st give

Cleanse painful hearts, and O dear Lord, forgive.

¾

Thy Son thou gavest in Thy wondrous love,

Now may we rest, assured that from above

Compassion still in endless steam will flow,

When sad in heart, may we Thy mercy know.

¾

Friends may forsake us, eyes grow dim with tears,

Why do we fear? Tt?ou casteth out all fears,

Man's tove may wave, but changeless Lord thou art,

O Saviour hear, and heal the broken heart.

-- Sis. B. Flint.
