The Journey.

Travelling on through Sorrow Land: travel
ing day by day;
Travelling for Tomorrow Land, that seems
so far away
Travelling for the country, where the twi-
light beauty CLEANS;
It's such a little way, yet so much further
than ii seems!
There's many a fragile blossom that may
cheer us as we go.
But the briar turks to pierce US and the
road is steep and slow.

tude and rest
Keeps us ever striving onward keeps us
hoping for the best.
