' ASuilg lieu,
Since first you started forth together,
First were wed?
lnyouthful pride and vigor
With many blessings crowned,
me Dloom OF roses on the cheek
Where lilies now are found.
They say It's so, and we believe,
For we can see how fair
AND beauteous now the lily blends
with CLEAN Of silver hair.
And on the brow with burrows traced,
Contentment there is seen:
More beautiful than youth. is age
Upon brow serene.
Rarely indeed such bridal vows
To those on earth are given;
moro OFT alone one waits the dawn
To re-unite In heaven.
The Lord God to you has been most kind
To Him wen give all praise,
And reverence those whom He has blessed.
with such good length OF days.
Then let us all rejoice with YOU,
And bless you in your home;
iour silver years have flown away,
And golden days have come.
the lessons to be taught you still
May you long live to learn,
To read His word and do His will.
While gilded leaves you turn.
The tinsel and the dross OF life
together you have known
FROM crystal streams together drank,
And bowed before His throne,
And almost ere you thought oft,
together you've grown old:
together neared the rivers brink.
The shining sands of gold
And when the further shore is reached.
And golden crowns you see,
we hope and trust the Lord, that there
Together you Will be.
