“Little Children Love One Another.”
—Bible.
I wish that I had the power
To dedicate this chapter,
There's not a single hour,
My soul it don't enrapture.
To dedicate this chapter,
There's not a single hour,
My soul it don't enrapture.
I wish I knew just what to say,
To introduce this part;
Its on my mind both night and day,
It penetrates my heart.
To introduce this part;
Its on my mind both night and day,
It penetrates my heart.
I wish I had the children here,
Well, then I couldn't write;
My mind would be in such a cheer,
My heart in such a flight—
That I would not believe my eyes,
That I was not in Paradise.
Well, then I couldn't write;
My mind would be in such a cheer,
My heart in such a flight—
That I would not believe my eyes,
That I was not in Paradise.
