Whose voice the gathering cares hegu'ie.
And mnketh the hearts of the sad to smile,
With your tears that stream Ger the ch'iiih

With your smiles that Dint up The broken heHF
And pour balm on the poisonous dart,
With your prayer, that rise to the throne apo.' ,,
And bring down the blessing OF peace ana ov'
