world Farewell OF Thee I'm Tired.

world Farewell OF Thee I'm Tiret
World. farewell! or thee I'm tired.
Now toward heaven, my way take;
There Is peace the long desired,
Lofty calm that naught can break.
World, with thee is war and strife,
Thou with cheating hopes art rife;
But in heaven Is no alloy,
Only peace, and love, and Joy.
When 1 reach that home OF gladness,
% shall feel no more this load,
Feel no sickness, want, or sadness,
Resting in the arms OF God
In the world woes follow fast,
And bitter death at last,
But in heaven shall naughtdestroy
Endless peace, and love, and Joy.
What are earthly joys? A weary
Chase Of mist, or flying foam
On this desert, dark and dreary,
. Sins and follies have their home;
Thine, D world are war and strife,
Passing pleasures, dying life:
But in heaven Ia no annoy,
Allis peace, and love and joy,
O, the music OF the singing
or the host redeemed by love!
O, the hallelujah ringing.
Through the land or light above!
Thine, o earth. the sccrnful sneers!
Disappointments, grievous fears;
But In heaven Is no annoy,
Only peace, and loye, and 10y.
There is much OF pain and mourning;
Comes joy-it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning.
Night will soon DER cloud the day;
World, with thee We weep and pine;
Gnawing care, and grief are thine
But In heaven is no alloy,
Only peace, and love, and Joy.
Onward, then not long wonder,
Ere my Savior comes Tor me;
And with Him abiding wonder.
All His glory shall see;
Yes. there much OF sorrow here
Toll, and pain, and many fear;
But In heaven Is no alloy,
All is peace, and love, and 10y.
Well for saints, whom death has landed
Safely on yon blessed shore,
Where in blissful worship banded,
Sing the sainted eyermore;
Here the world hath strife and war:
Our best works and hopes they mar;
But in heaven is no annoy,
All is peace, and love andjoy.
Time, thou speedest on but slowly;
Hours, how tardy is your pace,
Ere with Him, the High and Holy,
hold coverse, face to face;
Earth, with partings thou art ripe,
Full OF tears, and storms and strife;
But in heaven can naught destroy
Endless peace, and love and JOY.
Therefore will 1 now prepare me,
That my work may stand His doom,
And when all is sinking around me,
Imay hear, not "go," but "come"
World, the voice Of war Is here,
Sin and suffering. care and fear;
But in heaven can Eaught destroy
Holy peace, and love and joy.
