| | | SOME murmur when their sky is clear | |
| And wholly bright to view, | |
| If one small speck of dark appear | |
| In their great heaven of blue; | |
| And some with thankful love are filled | 5 |
| If but one streak of light, | |
| One ray of God’s good mercy, gild | |
| The darkness of their night. | |
| |
| In palaces are hearts that ask, | |
| In discontent and pride, | 10 |
| Why life is such a dreary task, | |
| And all good things denied; | |
| And hearts in poorest huts admire | |
| How Love has in their aid | |
| (Love that not ever seems to tire) | 15 |
| Such rich provision made. | | | | |
