Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840

Hymn 218
L.M.
1. Keep these few lines till time shall end,
In memory of your absent friend;
Who wanders o'er life's boisterous wave,
The meek, the humble poor to save.

2. While I endure I'll spend my breath
In prayer for those who love the truth.
In distant lands I'll call to mind
My true and faithful friends so kind.

3. Let these few lines adorn the place
Where you retire to seek his grace;
Then lift your voice in humble prayer
For him whose lines are hanging there.
