To M. V. G. H.
ON HER BIRTHDAY.
The blessing of the trusting one,
Who knows her faithful Friend;
The blessing of the waiting one,
Who trusts Him to the end;
The blessing of the watching one,
Whose eyes are on the Lord;
The blessing of the chastened one,
That marvellous reward!—
These sweetest birthday blessings be
Abundantly bestowed on thee!
Who knows her faithful Friend;
The blessing of the waiting one,
Who trusts Him to the end;
The blessing of the watching one,
Whose eyes are on the Lord;
410
That marvellous reward!—
These sweetest birthday blessings be
Abundantly bestowed on thee!
Blessing and blest
May thy new year be,
Brightest and best
Of the years to thee,
Awaiting the rest
Of eternity!
May thy new year be,
Brightest and best
Of the years to thee,
Awaiting the rest
Of eternity!
