\ SONG OF PRAISE
Esrth seemed a lonely dwelling place;
Singing. when Sorrow found him,
This world IS not friend to grace"
When grace all around him,
Grace in the viOlets az his feet,
Grace in the love OF children sweet.
Grace where he heard sTSt the home hearts s beat
Gods light on hiss snElftsd face.
With sweet miracles OF grace
On every pathway lytng'
Grace where the light seemed lost In night
That whispered OF a morning 6risht
All beautiful-undying'
O world OF IoveIiness and grace,
How kind. how fair a dwelling place
This side the rest OF heaven,
Grace on thine every pathway shed.
Grace where the green graves hide our dead.
And grace be forgiven,
