Thomas Clark - Blest who with generous pity glows - текст песни (слова)

Blest who with gen'rous pity glows,
 Who learns to feel another's woes,
 Bows to the poor man's want his ear,
 And wipes the helpless orphan's tear:
 
 Who to th'afflicted gives relief,
 And kindly soothes each anxious grief;
 In ev'ry want, in ev'ry woe,
 Himself thy pity, Lord, shall know;
 
 Thy love his life shall guard, thy hand
 Give to his lot the chosen land,
 Nor leave him in the dreadful day
 To unrelenting foes a prey.
 
 When languid with disease and pain,
 Thou, Lord, his spirit wilt sustain,
 Prop with thine arm his sinking head,
 And turn with tend'rest care his bed.
