And thy merry ringing voice,

And makes our hearts rejoice.
We love to gaze upon the smile

smile that lends beauteons charm
To each terrestrial grace.
But most Of all we love thee Tor
Thy warm and kindly heart
A heart that can, in JOY or woe,

And youths bright dreams are red;
When friends have passed away, and Hope
Lies with the cherished dead
Fen them when lonely thou dost stand,
Let not thy heart despair;

Who will his Kingdom share
