Yea Lord, we look unto Thee, we have much sorrow today,
Some people lost their loved ones in such a horrible way,
It came so sudden dear Lord, help us all in our hearts to Pray,
Just to go through each night, without smothering tears to darken the way.

Oh Lord, we see how quickly disaster can crowd into our life,
Help us through the smothering tears and all the mounting strife,
Our Country's brothers and sisters lay all about us today,
Thank you oh Lord, that You prepared the blissful saving way.

That we will see them again, until then, let Thy love surround our heart,
Let us ever be mindful of Thy sweet love, knowing it will never part,
Put a shield around us oh God, stop this smothering sorrow,
That we may be able to go on with our life, until that great tomorrow.

When all evil will be over in this Old World of sin, so great to bear,
And know Thy loving arms will be about us, that You will always care,
About your children of this World who love you Lord, Help us be,
Going about our Fathers' business, our duties to clearly see.

For we shed tears today and again I know on the morrow as we awake,
And remember all the smothering sorrow, wondering if our lives it will take,
Then we think of the great day up yonder, way beyond the clear, crystal sea,
And know our loved ones await us and one day, with them we will be.
