In Gregory of Nyssa and

A song of the widows and orphans,

Of the weary and hungry and sad—

Loud praise of the will Thou has broken,

The will of the young and the glad.

A song of the outcasts and martyrs,

A song of the scorned and despised—

The lonely, dishonoured, forsaken,

Who knew the rejection of Christ.

Sweet sings the great choir of sorrow

The song of the gladness untold,

To Him on the Throne of His glory,

Who wept in the days of old.
