“When the shadows fall around us,
When life’s stormy waves surround us,
And we are bourne upon their crest;
Then I love to read the story
Of that land so bright and fair,
And to learn that up in glory
There’ll be no night there.”
“Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing thy power to save;
When this poor, lisping stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.”
By Her Pastor A. D. Holden"
