w: That mourns in lone-ly e-*xile here Un-til the Son of God** ap-pear.
w: To us the path of know-*ledge show, And teach us in her ways** to go.
w: From depths of hell Thy peo-*ple save, And give them vic-t'ry ov'r** the grave.
w: Dis-perse the gloom-y clouds* of night, And death's dark sha-dows put** to flight.
w: Make safe the way that leads* on high, And close the path to mi-**ser-y.
