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...
