But for the hope that cannot fade,
For the clear bright faith that knows no shade.

There is a land where the smile is true,
Where the cheek is ever a healthy hue,
Where the heart for unkindness weeps no more,
And the thousand fears of earth are o'er;
And in that land, Oh! is it not sweet
To think, that the mother and child will meet?
