972. C. M. Anonymous. The Orphan's Hymn. 1 Where shall the child of sorrow find A place for calm repose? Thou, Father of the fatherless, Pity the orphan's woes! 2 What friend have I in heaven or earth, What friend to trust but thee? My father's dead -- my mother's dead; My God, remember me! 3 Thy gracious promise now fulfil, And bid my trouble cease; In thee the fatherless shall find Pure mercy, grace and peace. 4 I've not a secret care or pain, But he that secret knows; Thou, Father of the fatherless, Pity the orphan's woes!
