THOUGHTS IN SICKNESS.



Oh Thou, whose healing touch
   So oft the sick did save,
When thou didst dwell with men below,
   And meet affliction's wave,

In weakness and in woe,
   I bow my drooping head,
Give thou thy pitying angels charge
   To watch my lonely bed.

Far from a mother's love,
   Far from a sister's care
