OUR LITTLE STAR.

OUR LITTLE STAR.
Papa and mama am waiting for you
For know you will come
To see little Walter
In his happy home,
Our Savior has called me
To waite for you hear,
And softly to whisper
You've nothing to fear.
There are many more children
Here little as
And oh We have found it
So pleasant to die;
To live with our savior
And sing as we play;
Our In'fantile praises
To him all the day.
But oh if sorrow
Could pierce through the sky,
| feel yours dear mama
And when you do cry
l long to go to you
For only while,
To kiss and caress you,
And cause you to smile.
But Jesus would fold me
More close to his breast.
Saying I'll send comforter
Little one rest,
/ drew you from darkness
And made you a star
To light up to heaven
Your darling mama.
