The old Man leaned on his Friendly Staff

The old Man leaned on his Friendly staff
The old man leaned on his frienly staff
With tottering step and slow.
AZ he picked his way, of Sunday morn,
To the church where he loved 10 60.
His hair was white. and he scarcely knew
A friend as he passed him by
30 feeble and frail was his memory now,
And so dim was his clouded eye.
He sat in a home made chair at church,
In front of the preachers stand,
And listened, as if in a pleasant dream.
Tothe words of better land.
The sunlight fell on his silver locks,
And his white hair turned to gold
And faneied sunlight shone from heaven
On the heart of that pilgrim old
But the autumn leaves have fallen now,
And the old man sleeps below
We never shall see him pass again,
With his tottering step and slow.
