To you who faced the lannon's mouth
And Drawing shot and shell,
To guard our country North and South
For home and duty fell,
Greeting we bring on this glad day
And to you grateful homage pay.
And to your wives so true and kind
Who, fifty years ago. we find
To share your Joys and woes 10 be
Promised to keep you company,
We bring our hearty, loving greeting,
On this your golden wedding meeting.
Full fifty years you We lived together,
Sharing gladly all kinds Of weather;
Much Of sunshine, some of rain
Have bro to you both Joy and pain;
Yet, knowing God himself is true,
Felt the best had come to you.
For each glad year, that's eireled
round,
We'd gladly give to each a pound
Of earth IS rich gold both pure and rare,
And then scarce feel you'd had your
share;
For truly as this day has come
We feel each honor you have won.
But since this deed we cannot DO,
We humbly give these flowers to you;
And may each blossom that you see
Bear sweet messages glad and free
OF hearts that with true friendship
burn,
And of our love we 4 have you learn.
And now, as setting is life S sun,
May thot's of all its battles won,
And "erowns Of victory" that may
' be,
For you in God IS blest country,
Be blessings showered upon each
Until the last "wel Done" is said.
