Little darling Allen Hearl

A fold in his waxen white hands.

His feet indebted, the pathway OF sin

His soul but had birth and budded on
earth
To bloom in the garden Of God.
Dear Hearl, God has called the
To that home above the sky
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
Where love will never die.
IT'S sad to think that he is gone,
The one we love SO dear.
His presence we miss so much
Oh God this thought has brought a
tear.
Weep no more for him dear parents
For he has joined an angel band.
Only live that you may meet him
In the fair, celestial land.
Now look to God for consolation
And he will bless your lovely home.
He will take you there with Hearl
When your parting hour has come.
Farewell Allen Hearl.
A SISTER.
