HOPE OF THE BLIND
By W. J. Leach.

Why sigh, because with natural eyes
We cannot see those things
That once by us we're held so dear;
Why shed those tears, my friends?
All is not lost. God knows and cares
II we but faithful be.
We have hope, a glorious hope,
No natural eye can see.
A hope, that reaches far beyond,
This life of signs and tears;
Well see the Masters face some day,
IF we but faithful be.
1t will be in the heart OF a little
child.
God bless US all on Children's Day
Brighten our lives with flowers and
songl
Drive sin and pain and weight away.
And help US praise Jesus all the
day longl
Till in Heaven we see Him, face to
face,
Saved by the power OF love and
