Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,

Lie up nearer, brother, nearer,
For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence seeineih dearer,
When thy arms around me fold;
lam dying, brother, dying,
Soon you'll miss me in your berth,
For my arm will soon be lying
Meath the oceans briny surf.
Hesrkeh to me, brother, hesrkenI

Ere the veil my vision darken
And | go from hence away.
am going, surely going,
But my hope in God is strong,
am willing, brother, knowing
That He doeth nothing wrong.
Tell my father when you greet him,
That in death prayed for him,
Prayed that l may one day meet him,
In world that's free from sin
Tell my mother (God assist her
Now that she Is growing old),
Tell, her child would glad have kissed
her,
When his lips grew pale and cold.
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
IT'S my wife I'd speak of now.
Tell, oh, tell her, how missed her,
When the fever burnt my brow;
Tell her, brother, closely listen,
Don't forget a single word,
That in death my eyes did glisten
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell her che must kiss my children,
Like the kiss last impressed,
Hold them as when last l held them,
Folded closely to my breast;
Give them early to their Maker,
Putting oil her trust in God,
And He never will forsake her,
For lie said SO in His Word.
Oh, my children Heaven bless them
They were all my life to me;
Would could once more caress them,
Ere sink beneath the sea
Twas for them crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were ri not tell,
But have gained an orphans portion,
Yet he doetb all things we'll.
Tell my sisters remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender,
Al the thoughts their mem'ry stirred
Tell them | ne'er reached the haven
Where I sought the "rrecious dust"
But have gained port called Heaven,
Where the gold will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrance,
For they'll fud their brother there
Faith in Jesus and repentance
will secure for each share
Hark I hear my Savior speaking,
'Tis, know his voice so we'll,
When | am gone, oh, don't be weeping,
Brother, here's my last farewell.

IN sooner and oftener than with any farm
stock. Ii your land is poor and needs
