Welcome

By ElEs Atkisson Mcdonald
Dear Lord, l know 1 shall be shy,
In Heavens shining land
So send no radiant angel, Lord
To take me by the hand
And make me dumb with awe, and feal
And bind my eyes with light
And lead me to my Home at last
Across the starry night.
But l would feel a welcome, Lord,
If, at the gate I meet
The little dog loved on earth,
With merry, scampering feet:
Oh | would surely lay my hand
Upon his head, and roam
All of Thy golden, glorious streets
And I'd feel quite at home.
Say you saw it in The Globe!
