There's nothing to regret
We've taught the children many tfu'ns
Nm which our hearts were set;
And If against our old-time ways
They foolishly protest.
We need never regret, my dear,
That we have done our best.
There's many a plan that's come TO naugns
There's many a light gone cut
AMI dieappointmentg, griefs and cares
Have hedged US round about
And many a sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've done the very best we could
IT'S useless to regret.
For out Of evil good has come,
And out of darkness light
And all wrong doing in this world
Some day will be set right
And though we have not reached the heigh1
Attained by others, yet
We've done the best we could, my deari
IT'S useless to regret.
We've tried TO live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
9ainst evil things to take our stand,
In goodness to excel;
So Judge yourself not hatshly, dear,
