1. O you whose absence means the loss of all good
And darkens the horizon, blackening its dawns

2. No day shines white after you are gone
Only sorrow grays the parting's morns

3. Your charity waters a land where you alight
So your rain of generosity drenches far shores

4. Blessed are you, all enemies decried
A kingdom empowered defending its laws

5. We knew you not until adversity
Whose distances dimmed union before

6. For truly, you are wellness
None can grasp your worth but one you adore
