BABY MARGARET

Just before the dawn was breaking.
In the darkest hour of night,
While the watchers hearts we're aching
Baby took her homeward flight
From the land OF many sorrows,
Many changes, many tears,
Weary nights and troubled morrows
Through the burden Of the years.
But one tie the less to sever;
One pure heart the less to beat
Yet. united and forever
In our Fathers house wen meet.
Little darling, love was near thee.
Watching, weeping DER thy brow
Love that ever must endear thee
To the hearts left lonely now.
To thy Shepherd we surrender
Thee, sweet lamb for He is good,
And 80 gentle. wise and tender
He viii guard thy babyhood.
There are angel lips To kiss thee;
Angel hands TO guide thy way
Yet, so much, so much we'll miss thee
Night by night and day by day.
