Classic Poem

Lord of all life and light,
God of all grace,
Gladden the orphan's sight,
Shew him thy face.

Father and mother here,
Lord, he hath none;
Sister and brother dear,
All dead and gone.

Sinking in loneliness,
Shrinking in fear,
Wilt thou the orphan bless,
Wilt thou him cheer?

Take thou his helpless part,
Be thou his stay,
So shall his grateful heart
Love thee for aye.

Lord of all life and light,
God of all grace,
Gladden the orphan's sight,
Shew him thy face.
