And in our home above there is a friend, More tender, true, more loving and sincere, Who knows each want, and every help will lend Our souls, through this world’s misery to steer; In danger’s path is present, ever near, Allures to brighter worlds, hath cleared the way, Will wipe from every cheek the sinner’s tear, Deigns in our hearts to claim a peaceful sway, And leads us to our homes in realms of endless day.
