SPREAD THE SUNSHINE.

Comet let US to the Father turn.
And loving kindness from Him learn
And then, to all His wishes true,
The work He loved We'll try 20 DO
See! there are sorrowing ones who stand
And there are waiting ones at hand,
Without our doors, and eyes where tears
Betray the sad hearts griefs and fears.
Come! Let us weep with them awhile,
Till sympathy bring back smile
To those sad faces and their eyes
Turn TO the sunshine In the skies
And feel the shadows less and less
As grows our warmth of tenderness,
The while we try as best we may
To make more bright each hour OF day.
