You are going away from your child
hoods home.
From the harbor serene and calm,
Where your mothers heart was an
anchor sure,
And her love healing balm;
Where your fathers hands here quelled
the waves
On life's tempestuous sea,
As in olden times the Savior ealmed
The waves OF Galilee.
And soon new Lessons your heart will
learn,
With tenderest pleasure rife,
And sweet new music will be set
To the changing words OF life;
