• Lyrics:
  Each hour of life to thee I turn,
  Tow'rd thee my inmost soul doth yearn,
  Both day and night, where'er I be,
  My trusting heart still turns to thee;
  Hopeful I pray that I may keep
  My love as now, serene and deep,
  May the pure feeling upward now stealing
  Ever be strengthen'd 'twixt me and thee,
  Each hour of life to thee I turn,
  Tow'rd thee my inmost soul doth yearn,
  Both day and night, where'er I be,
  My trusting heart still turns to thee.
