1 Must friends and kindred droop and die,
And helpers be withdrawn;
While sorrow, with a weeping eye
Counts up our comforts gone?
2 Be thou our comfort, mighty God!
Our helper and our friend;
Nor leave us in this dang'rous road,
Till all our trials end.
3 O may our feet pursue the way
Our pious fathers led;
With love and holy zeal obey
The counsels of the dead.
4 Let us be wean'd from earthly joys;
Let hope our grief dispel,
While dead in Jesus shall arise,
In endless bliss to dwell.
