As we take the parting hand.
Though dis5anding brings US SORROW
Yet we're joyous now rs we'll,
For wo cnter life's great morrow
And our hearts with feelings swell.
We are sad at thoughts of parting,
For our future who can tell?
When in lifs's great battle starting
And We bid each friend farewell.
We have walked thus far together,
But oar pathways must DIVIDE
Time alone can answer, whittier,
And what fate 10 each betide.
When our days are nearly ended,
Aud our pathways near the shore,
AAuy Out uVoo VIVA BchCc 70 Ol0uu0us
When We hear the currents roar.
May We meet unbroken seven,
When the river VIC have crossed,
And be joined again in heaven,
Not single member lost.
