When, bending o'er the brink of life. .
When blooming youth is spatched away
When brighter suns and milder skies
When called, O Lord, to mourn the doom
When children give their hearts to God
When darkness long has veiled my mind
When driven by oppression's rod
Whene'er the clouds of sorrow roll
When floating on life's troubled sea
When forced to part from those we love
When gloomy thoughts and fears .
When God revealed his gracious name
When grief and anguish press me down
When human hopes and joys depart
When I can read my title clear
When I can trust my all with God
When in silence o'er the deep
When in the vale of lengthened years .
When Israel, of the Lord beloved
When Israel through the desert passed .
When life's tempestuous storms are o'er
When, Lord, to this our western land .
When, marshalled on the nightly plain
When morning's first and hallowed ray .
When musing sorrow weeps the past
When on her Maker's bosom
When, overwhelmed with grief.
When power divine, in mortal form
When quiet in my house I sit .
When rest of all, and hopeless care.
When restless on my bed I lie
When, rising from the bed of death.
When shall we meet again
When sickness shakes the languid frame
When spirits from their cumbering clay .
When, streaming from the eastern skies
When the vale of death appears
When the worn spirit wants repose
When verdure clothes the fertile vale
When wakened by thy voice of power
When we pass through yonder river
Wherefore should man, frail child of clay
Where shall the child of sorrow find .
While shepherds watched their flocks by n
While sounds of war are heard around
While thee I seek, protecting Power .
While this day its light is shedding .
Wbile, with ceaseless course, the sun
While you with mournful thoughts deplore
Who are these in bright array
Whom have we, Lord, in heaven but the
Who, O Lord, when life is o'er .
Why do we mourn departing friends.
Why do we waste in irilling careg
Why should we start, and fear to die
Why weep for those, frail child of woe .
With all my powers of heart and tonguo
Within thy house, O Lord, our God
With one consent, let all the earth
With reverence let the saints appear
With sacred joy we list our eyes
With songs and honore sounding loud
Would you behold the works or God . .
