DcPauw COLI, ge Greencastie, IND
Often in my hours Of silence,
All alone save God above
Mem nv takes me back 10 childhood,
To the home | once did love.
In this home were father, mother,
Sister one, and brothers two;
Each one sought TO love the other,
As the Bible taught them to.
Rut there came time OF sadness
Death, you know, must have ms way
after long and bitter sickness,
Mother dear, then passed away.
|Oh. the sadness OF that hour.
Oh. the bitter. dark despair.
Words here used have not the power
To portray the darkness there.
Much as then | missed her presence,
Her sweet voice and face SO fair,
Yet. | now do feel the essence
OF need superior.
They could lead me up the mountain,
\ Where our faith is lost in sight
Where there never can be doubling.
As to what is wrong or right.
She could lead me to that Fountain.
To that higher Rock than /,
Where nv soul could find sweet refuge
Though my body waste and die.
I Rnt she's gone. she cannot lead me
Bv the hand as desire;
So IN trust to Him who freed me,
For place with her up higher.
Yes, dear mother, we are coming,
Coming there with YOU to dwell
Il Coming there To hear the singing,
II And to help the chorus swell
+ Coming there to dwell with Jesus,
: There to worship at His throne;
/, There to know and feel the sweetness
n OF another Home sweet Home.
