orers by Mrs. Amos R. Wells, and
Gndeayorcrs might keep copy OF
this paper with the words).
Oh, the happy hills OF limo
As we make our journey home,
Rearing lordIy from the valleys
Noble crest and shining dome!
With their SUBMITS bathed in light,
And the shadows down below,
While they stand as giant sentries
BY the paths where mortals go.
Chorus =
O, the hills. beautiful hills,
How love those West Virginia
hills!
But the hills of light above, in the
land of perfect love-
They are fairer than the West
Virginia hills.
Oh, the hills of time are fair
With the glory of the earth,
With the blossoms of Endeavor
And the golden fruit of worth.
But the hold hills of hcav'n
Which the angels feet have trod
Are alight with all the glory
OF our Saviour and our God.
On The hills Of time below
How the storms in fury beat!
How the rough and rocky pathway
HarshIy wears the weary feet!
But the happy hills of God
Danish weariness and pain,
Not a joy is marrcd by sorrow,
And their glory all is gain.
/; Let MS dare these hills below,
Let us tread the rugged road,
Let us bear the heavy burdens,
Let us sing beneath the load,
Let us face the mountain path
With no faltering or fear,
1 Till The hills of time are ended
And the hills of God appear!
