Dark clouds fill my room,
my place of sojourning a tomb.
Held by warped schemes,
yet, from heavens bosom His love streams.
Removed was my nearest friend,
I, an object of loathing to them.
Deserted I have been,
lo, not taken; this peace within.
My frame weary from this chamber,
sunshine is void in this pit of danger.
Yet, His new mercies are my dawn,
Thine blessed presence has not gone.
What day is it? When will I know?
Tis this the door to my Father`s abode?
Take ye care of my wife and young,
tell them of Whom I am among.
This cup is set before thy servant,
thy love begets His called to be fervent.
Therefore, I drink with gladness,
in pain, yet, not a slave to sadness.
This prison is my banquet of bliss,
these wave of affliction I can only kiss.
Received from the hand of Divine Love,
my lot to mold for thy world above.
Signed in walls of preparation,
ye, near the day of seeing my Salvation.
Locked in by bars surrounding,
yet, I hear the Hosts` victory call resounding!
