The days were counting, one by one,Will turn to years, and when theyre doneTwill seem as though the time thats pastOn swiftest wings has fleeted fast,With naught to break the monotoneSave the heartaches that we know alone. Just let us try and realizeThe blessings that we fain should prize,That come direct from the God of reigns supreme oer the hosts prize the blessings we receiveAnd with stout hearts forget to grieve.

He took away the lepers dread And from the grave he raised the dead. ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^^ —1
