When languor and disease invade
C.M. Written in illness
'My meditation of Him shall be sweet' (Psalm 104:34)
1. When languor and disease invade
This trembling house of clay,
'Tis sweet to look beyond the cage,
And long to fly away…
5. Sweet to rejoice in lively hope
That when my change shall come,
Angels will hover round my bed,
And waft my spirit home…
