First Line of Hymn: "I had wandered off from Heaven, On the mountains cold and gray"
Made my spirit glad again.
From the heavy laden breast.
I will comfort him today.
Come and talk with Me awhile."
Like a cloud 'tween Me and thee."
Change the night-tide into day.
"Come thou weary one away,"
And my spirit is at rest.
