POEMS.
19
Cling together; let us try
To live true lives as years roll by.
Let not this short and weary life
Be ever spent in bitter strife.
To live true lives as years roll by.
Let not this short and weary life
Be ever spent in bitter strife.
Cling together; we'll ask of God,
Ere we sleep beneath the sod;
None but He can heal our grief,—
Only God can bring relief.
Ere we sleep beneath the sod;
None but He can heal our grief,—
Only God can bring relief.
Cling together while we live,—
So that God to us may give
A peaceful life until we flee
To a happier home in eternity.
So that God to us may give
A peaceful life until we flee
To a happier home in eternity.
Cling together; hearts with love
Will unite in heaven above:
For this we hope—for this we pray,
To meet again at the Great Day.
Will unite in heaven above:
For this we hope—for this we pray,
To meet again at the Great Day.
Cling together, though dark shadows
Lower around our pathway here;
There may be a brighter morrow
And every cloud shall disappear.
Lower around our pathway here;
There may be a brighter morrow
And every cloud shall disappear.
Cling together; we'll hope on ever
That true love's sun may shine again;
Ere our ties on earth we sever
Let each the other's love regain.
That true love's sun may shine again;
Ere our ties on earth we sever
Let each the other's love regain.
