A BIRTHDAY GREETING
Your natal anniversary
Once more around has crept;
And, as a token of respect
Will you these flowers accept
Once more around has crept;
And, as a token of respect
Will you these flowers accept
From all your friends? And we do hope
That they may bring delight;
And shed abundant cheer and joy
From every petal bright.
That they may bring delight;
And shed abundant cheer and joy
From every petal bright.
And as another year speeds on
To swell the list of Time;
We truly wish that each day may
Be filled with Peace sublime.
To swell the list of Time;
We truly wish that each day may
Be filled with Peace sublime.
And may the Heavenly Father's grace
Be with you on your way;
And keep you safely 'till returns
Another glad Birth-day.
Be with you on your way;
And keep you safely 'till returns
Another glad Birth-day.
