O PILGRIM, comes the night so fast?
Let not the dark thy heart appall,
Though loom the shadows vague and vast,
For Love shall save us all.
There is no hope but this to see
Through tears that gather fast and fall;
Too great to perish Love must be,
And Love shall save us all.
Have patience with our loss and pain,
Our troubled space of days so small;
We shall not reach our arms in vain,
For Love shall save us all.
O Pilgrim, but a moment wait,
And we shall hear our darlings call
Beyond death’s mute and awful gate,
And Love shall save us all!
