14 Mar 13 - 11:36 PM (#3490538) Subject: Lyr Add: My head and stay is took away From: Jim Dixon From The Primitive Hymns, Spiritual Songs, and Sacred Poems by Benjamin Lloyd (Greenville, Ala.: Published for the proprietor, 1858), page 503: 656 C. M. A wife bereaved of her husband. 1. My head and stay is took away, And I am left alone— My husband dear, who was so near, Is took away and gone. 2. It grieves my heart, 'tis hard to part With one who was so kind; Where shall I go to tell my woe, Or ease my troubled mind? 3. In wisdom's ways we spent our days; Much comfort we did find: But he is gone, his glass is run, And I am left behind. 4. Nought can I find to ease my mind, Of things which are below; For earthly toys but vex my joys, And aggravate my woe. 5. But I'll repair to Jesus, where I'll ease my troubled breast; And leave my sorrows all behind, And be for ever blest. |
