TO S. S. N.
Sarah, thy name shall ever live!
Shall have the best place in my heart,
For the instruction thou didst give,
When others bade me to depart.
Shall have the best place in my heart,
For the instruction thou didst give,
When others bade me to depart.
Stretch forth thy loving, gentle hands,
And bid the needy come to thee,
For there are many in the land,
Who gladly seek to learn of thee.
And bid the needy come to thee,
For there are many in the land,
Who gladly seek to learn of thee.
Thy gentle hand shalt bless the poor,
Shall wipe away the tears they shed;
And from thy bounty I am sure,
The poor and needy shall have bread.
Shall wipe away the tears they shed;
And from thy bounty I am sure,
The poor and needy shall have bread.
Thy steadfast feet shall tread the way,
That saints and angels long have trod,
If thou wilt only watch and pray,
And seek to serve the living God.
That saints and angels long have trod,
If thou wilt only watch and pray,
And seek to serve the living God.
