Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say bit this heart can alter,
Think not, though now we sever,
I can forget the ever,
What'er our dark'ning fate may be;
While life's last accents falter,
Yet will I pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll bless and pray for thee.

[Verse 2]
Here though the hope forsake me,
Which that poor heart so treasured,
Soon will its hours be measured,
And pitying heaven my sorrows see,
Soon to its refuge take me,
And there I'll pry &c.
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll pray for thee,
I'll bless and pray for thee.
