In memory Of our father Mr.. David
w. Walker, who departed this life
the 18th day of May, 1922.
Resting in thy love Lord Jesus I am
blessed
Leaning on thy loving bosom this is
rest;
Peace which passeth understanding on
thy breast,
Occupied with thee Lord Jesus keep
thou me:
Finding satisfaction no where but in
thee;
Thou of joy and stream offountain
unto me.
Walking in thy steps Lord Jesus I
would be,
In the path of separation unto thee;
That thy joy may now unhindered-
thus in me;
Giving Joy to thee Lord JESUS every
day.
Doing what shall please thee Jesus
loving to obey.
