Two streams were flowing

And In their course, with quiet force,
| They mingle into one.
Now flows the blended river
| Beneath the western sky;
And manifold the hues OF gold
calm on Its bosom lie.

SO friends beloved and honored,
| Your stream OF life has flowed;
And now may rest upon its breast
| The goldea peace OF God
Warm hearts are beating round you;
| Ana In our fervent song
| Here do we pray, your closing day
| May linger late and long.
| That warmest benedictions
May soothe its latest stage,
| And wrevthe with flowers OF summer hue
| The snowy crown OF age;
TIL clothed In welding garments,
| You stand before tne throne
whence cometh down the bridal crown
| And the sweet voice, "Well DONE"
