&"God bless the golden wedding day."

sThe SHOWS Of fifty winters
Have fallen on your hair,
\ Since FIRST YOU entered on the path
But by the loyelght in your eyes
They lie Ike lilies there.
Sometimes know the pathway
Was rugged to your feet,
But on the June's red roses,

& mas not the good Lord blessed you
WIN MES best joys complete?

through stormy waves of war
UT staf-erowned queen sweeps onward
10 glorious goals afar.
'S SHr true Gysu hearts shared the peril,
q Anl now your children's children
Il ytSuan reap the rich reward.
