He gives hope to the hopeless
Life to the lifeless
Sight to the blind
Flight to the wingless
Might to the kingless
Keys to the kind
Lamps to the mired
Camps to the tired
A Rock to the weak
Maps to the lost
Naps to the tossed
Hats off to the meek.
He takes sin from the silty
Grime from the guilty
Death from the doomed
Pain from the pining
Dearth from the dining
Reign from the tomb
Load from the laden
Grief from the slated
For Reaper’s repast
God giveth, God taketh,
The faithful He staketh,
His laugh will be last.
