Our wedding days, with joyful lays,
Let all their names be spbkeni
Let mercies kind, be called to mind
And the VOWS we've never broken.
How the first we did get over,
And were united for life,
We certainly cannot tell you,
We only heard, husband" "wife."
We look back upon the acooden,
We look back upon the tim
We have tried to flee from evil,
We have tried to flee from sin.
We have passed beyond the crystal,
IT'S our SiiUer aCedding day;
We are turning from the youthful,
We are turning to the gray.
we are looking for the golden,
We are looking for the light
Far more brilliant thar the diamond
And more blessed to the sight,
