-'Tis with a mournful pleasure now
-I think on ancient days;
-Then to thy house did numbers go,
-And all our work was praise.
-But why, my soul, sunk down so far
-Beneath this heavy load?
-Why do my thoughts indulge despair,
-And sin against my God?
-Hope in the Lord, whose mighty hand
-Can all thy woes remove,
-For I shall yet before him stand,
-And sing restoring love.}}
