Never again will they rest OF my brow
Never again smooth nv sorrowful face,
Never clasp me in a childish embrace.
And now my forehead grows wrinkled with

Thinking of little hands, once resting there,
But / know in a happier, heavenlier cline,
Dear little hands, / will clasp you sometime.
Dear little hands, when the Master shall call,
I'll welcome the summons that comes to US all
When my feet touch the waters so dark and so

And I catch my first glimpse of the City of

Over the tide where the white-robed ones wait.
Shall / know you, I wonder, among the bright
bands.
Will you beckon me over, oh dear little hands?
