A New Start
- When I am weary,
All human effort spent,
And all straight prospects and ambitions bent,
Thy saving love
Uplifts my aching soul
And with a word of comfort makes me whole. - Even the good
Must see their fortunes fail,
Suffering the proud and cruel to prevail:
But Thy good Grace
Is past all human price
Gained through a superhuman sacrifice. - Weakly I weep
For hopes so long pursued
And for a broken life, awkward and crude,
Then wipe my eyes
And look into my heart
To find my inner life, make a new start.
