Transcription

Once our Father was like us, In a world of toil and pain; And in a tribulation, thus, Did his exaltation gain. In a city paved with gold, Shining with celestial light. Him, in love, we did behold. And rejoiced with great delight. By the blissful fountains there, We once knew each parent's face; We received our Mother's care, And our Father's love and grace
