We cannot bear life’s cross alone
Kind Mentor
of our moments here
You understand each wordless groan
And count each solitary tear
The silent sorrow of the soul
My Father, is not hid from Thee
Come to us now. Comfort, console
Carry us in Your kind mercy
Sorrow and joy, complex alloy
Dear Father, help us meekly bear
Love’s mother-load; lest we destroy
The tender hearts placed in our care
Guide us in each step
of each day
Constrain our fears beyond its reach
And help us not to pull away
From love-lessons that life must teach
Oh God, alone we cannot bear
The hidden sorrows of the heart
But, as You hear our groaning prayer
Dear God, I pray, Your peace impart
