fnl song till it would fill our childish
hearts with joy. How glad we are
10 know that she is waiting on that
heautjful shore to bid us welcome
home when our sorrows all are DER.
We can't understand why Raymond
was snatched from US so suddenly, but
we know "all things work together
for good to them that love God"
RAYMOND has gone to a world of love,
Where sorrow shall vex him no more,
For he dwells in that heavenly world

He's free from all worldly griefs and
pains,
He's safe in that heavenly fold,
But we shall see our dear Raymond
again,
And his own deaz 1l:2ce behold.
