Who has given us such comfort.
Making Us our trials forget?
Who could SoOthe Our chidhood's sor-

Never sympathy withhold.
Tighten all our cares and burdens
Like our mother, growing old?
When upon my recent visit
1t was plain to me as day
On her face We're deeper wrinkles
And her hair was still more gray.
But one thing | can say truly
That her love has not grown cold:
That she cares for all her children
AS she did. though growing Old.
Mothers love, how it reminds me
OF that love SO rich and free
Love Of COD for all His children.
Though they often hayward be
Love that's lasting and unchanging:
Something like it we behold
In her love for all her children
Shown by mother growing old.
Let US follow her example
And a comfort to her be
Prize the Book she loved: the Bible,
Serve her Master faithfully.
Soon, ah, soon, she may go from us,
And ON yonder streets Of gold
We shall hope some day to meet her
Where none ever shall grow old.
Oh, my friend, is your dear mother
Living yet, though miles away?
Often write to her a letter
Which will cheer her on the way.
Show by deeds Of loving kindness
The regard for her you hold:
That you love her-love her dearly
Even though she's growing old.
