5 And let me be with all In peace and friendship living, O this refuse me not, 6 And if a longer life Be here on earth decreed me, And Thou through many a strife To age at last wilt lead me, Thy patience in me shed, Avert all sin and shame, And crown my hoary head With pure untarnished fame. 7 Let nothing that may chance, And friends that o'er it weep. And change this earthly frame, And bid me aye rejoice With those who love Thy name. |
