George B. HynSOn

Them poor old hands of hers al
last
Have found a place to rest;
1t amt for me to worry,
For the Father knOweth best.
1t may be lonesome, but l know
She couldn't allus stay,
So what's the use to worry
Over trouble, anyway"
Oh, brave old Uncle Tommy!
How he seemed to fill the place
With the music of his shaky voice
And the sunshine of his face!
And when he took to bed at last,
The preacher come to pray:
He thanked him for the visit,
Then he sent him on his way.
81 know one thing" he said to us,
"As sure as sure can be,
The Bein' Who has made me;
He's led me on through storm and
calm;
He's leadin' me today,
So what's the use to worry
Over trouble, anyway?
And when they had the funeral
The people came for miles,
The meetin' house was packed with
folks
And crowded in the aisles;
And there was silence when at last
The preacher took his text:
Let not your hearts be troubled"
And he preached a sermon next,
His voice was low and shook a bit,
And tears were in his eyes;
He said: Dear old Uncle Tommy
now
Is safe in paradise,
And with his dear old wife, know
Is happy there today,
So what's the use to worry
Over trouble, anyway"
