COURAGE

When you kneel to-night, and pray
God to keep the house you love,
Think of me so far away,
Think of me, my dear and dove.
For to-night, when I shall call
Blessings on the house I love,
I shall ask for joy to fall
On your heart, my dear and dove.
Let us trust a Father's care,
Looking to a Father's love;
He will only bid us bear
What we can, my dear and dove.
