For thirty long years we have traversed the sands Of life’s storm swept desert together. Toiling, struggling and suffering in various lands Little cheeked by the stress of hard weather. We’ve given out strength, through the liest of ourdaja. To the one aim of blessing our kind. Aud no thought of emolument, profit, or praise Has been suffered to rest In our mind, Many sorrows we’vo known, many tears we have shed, As our feet have been pierced by the way. Fierce tempests of grief have raged overhead; While dark clouds tauve obscured the bright day. But the Master’s blessing and hand has guided usstill. And His favor has brought us along. For our purpose has been to work out his will. And employing his strength wc*vo been strong. And as we stand here, past the brow of life's hill With short stretch of the journey ahead; Patient, ready and willing to battle on still, Till we gather a crown for each head. Our life has not been one of sorrow alone, For much pleasure has brightened each day, And God’s boundless goodness, we’ll gladly make known To every one passing our way. We’ve heard the glad statement of good we've done, As made by the Father above, And we've shouted his praise over victories won " idle our souls have been thrilled by His love. We’ve had food and raiment in ample supply I roin storehouses to us all unknown. With shelter sufficient, we scarce can tell why Save that God wili provide for his own. Our children stand round us, bright,handsome and brave. Well received ‘mongst the purest and best, We've not been called, in the cold silent grave To lay one ot our darlings to rest, Our prospects are clear, none can have sweeter cheer, In scanning the days yet to come, So we’ll gladly go on, in the way ho makes clear Till we reach our bright Heavenly home. Then hack to t his world we'll direct a fond gaze And beckon the loved ones left here To come on and join us in chorus of praise To him who hath loved us so dear. j. n. k. s.
