Tell her she must kiss my children, like the
kiss ] last impressed.
Hold them as when last | held them folded
closely to my breast:
GIVE them early to their Maker, putting all
her trust In God
And He never will forsake her, for He said
so In His Word
Oh. my children. Heaven bless them. they re
all my life to me.
Would | could once more caress them ere 7
sank beneath the sea:
1t was for them | crossed the ocean what
my hopes were I'll not tell
But I've gained an orphans portion, yet He
doeth all things we'll.
Tell my sister remember every kindly
parting word.
And my heart has been kept tender by the
thoughts her memory stirred:
Tell her never reached the haven where
sought tho precious dust.
But ] reached port called Heaven. where
tho gold will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrance, for they'll II
find their brother there:
Faith In Jesus and repentance will secure
for each share:
Hark, | hear my Saviour speaking. 'tis His
voice ! know WELL
When I'm gone, oh. don't be weeping
brother hear my last farewell
