O, from these visions dark and drear,

Kind Father, set me free;

I struggle yet with darkness here,—

My God, remember me!

Refresh my drooping soul with grace

And quickening energy;

Still running, toiling in the race,—

My God, remember me!

Some cheering ray of hope impart,

Sweet influence from Thee;

And raise this feeble, drooping heart,—

My God, remember me!

For the inheritance in light,

On trembling wings I flee;

With sins, and doubts, and fears, I fight,—

My God, remember me!
