Fifty long years have rolled away
And brought your golden wedding day;
Fifty years, with many changes rare,
JOY and sorrow, have been your share;
But through it all, I hear you say
If dark the path, God leads the way,
And though all is not lust we would
We bear in mind that God is good.
One sorrow yours. the lot of all,
When Lell obeyed her Saviour's call
To leave this world of pain and grief,
In Heavenly mansions find relief;
But pure the life she left behind,
Sweet thoughts Of her you bear in mind,
or all her gentle. kindly ways,
And now they help to cheer your days.
You live IN memories of the past,
Sweet m emories, that Will always last,
And if to you some things denied,
God IN his kindness has supplied
Many blessings good and true,
You can count the m not a fews
he gave to you noble son
Whose life has thus far been ''well done,''
TO him you well may look with pride,
For friends are his Oh every side
With mind well stored, a kindly heart,
knowledge to others he may impart,
In Iectur es through the state been heard
And from the pulpit preached Gods Word.
Now may these fifty years gone by
Be golden teps to lead on high
To that betterElife, that land above
Where all is Joy with Heavenly love.
