Which makes the e oil forever blest
Which gives the wicked such unrest.

1t speaks of blessings rich and rare,
n In which we all have had Il share.
tells of pleasures on the way
That added sunshine to the day;
n 1t knows of warfare for the right,
That help to break the gloom of night.
Il speaks of friendship tried like gold,
, Of love that never can grow old;
u Rv faith it Journeys on atar
u Where love and goodness ever are.
It sees the husbands manly form
rock, a shelf r from the storm;

The eureka of the husbands life.

With fuYerets scattered in between.
The brightest joy that earth can know,
Z Or give to mortalS here be!oY,
q Now as our friends again renca
4 Their plighted vows, with life to last,
May hopes of good in future be,
o More bright than memories of the past.

And hands may falter, fail and fall.
y May eyes of faith be raised on high
y To homes of bliss prepared for all.

May il be yours eternal and sweet,
TO receive And to wear the conqueror's crown
