With awful notes now swelling high.
Bearing mysterious power,
Then sinking soft with gentle voice,
Breathing of Mercy's dower.
Bearing mysterious power,
Then sinking soft with gentle voice,
Breathing of Mercy's dower.
O list again! the soothing sound
Of Sympathy is near;
Enchanting tones aerial
Burst on the captive ear.
Of Sympathy is near;
Enchanting tones aerial
Burst on the captive ear.
Ah! yes, and now the pitying tears
Fast falling bathe the ground;
Weeping the woe, the grief, the fears
That wretchedness surround.
Fast falling bathe the ground;
Weeping the woe, the grief, the fears
That wretchedness surround.
Then cease, my soul, no more repine;
The healing mercy flows:
Blest Sympathy, with voice benign,
Her cordial gifts bestows.
The healing mercy flows:
Blest Sympathy, with voice benign,
Her cordial gifts bestows.
