The ways of the world are many,
And our footsteps falter soon,
Sometimes beneath the glowing sun,
Sometimes beneath the moon,
When it is the sun we say,
would it EN- were night;
And When It's the night we say
Dear God give us the light,
Our hearts are never satisfied
For what ehaVe, we never care,
Until we hear the whirr OF wings,
And pleasures vanish. in the air.
'ris then, the time we wish them back,
And mourn their loss with bitter tears,
Butnever do the dead return,
THO we may watch through years and
years.
But better still than her return,
Tho still we miss her sore,
our mother lives in Gods bright home,
Where darkness comes no more.
Nomore the whirr of wings are heard,
TO bear her Joys away,
For she AT last has reached that cline,
Where shines External Day"
YES Mother, take thy long earned rest,
But o! we'll miss thee now,
Stlllwe will wait and trust thy God.
Submissive to His will we'll bow.
Helpus dear God thy VIII to do,
Help us to trust and wait,
That we may reach ou; mothers home,
And entar at the gate.
