expectedly. The little frail blossom
was spared the rough, winds that Of

and mother, but with the trust that
the finwerlet given TO their care is
now safe in the arms of Jesus.
I'VE shall go home to our Fathers
house,
To our Fathers home in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall
have no blight,
Our love no broken ties.
We shall roam on the banks of the
river CT peace,
And battle in its bliSSful tide,
And one of the joys of our heart
shall be
