Question the world and ungodly churcn

Yet you seem to hover 'round us,
And the sweetest mem'ries cling—
And we hear thee, Mother, saying
"Weep not, daughters, you shoulc

You should sing of our Redeemer,
And His love for ever more,.
For the Mother He has taken
Is not lost but gone before.
Why so sombre clad and weeping?
Why the silent tears out pour?
I but wait for you, my children.
On this bright celestial _hore."

And we know that we shall meet thee
And share our Father's love.

As they always do, when folks visit

And on the new pavement we did

And ate our lunch at the Tourist's
