Christian Worship The Orphan’s Hymn.
Where shall the child of sorrow find
A place for calm repose?
Thou, Father of the fatherless,
Pity the orphan’s woes!
What friend have I in heaven or earth,
What friend to trust but thee?
My father’s dead-my mother’s dead;
My God, remember me!
Thy gracious promise now fulfil,
And bid my trouble cease;
In thee the fatherless shall find
Pure mercy, grace and peace.
I’ve not a secret care or pain,
But he that secret knows;
Thou, Father of the fatherless,
Pity the orphan’s woes!
