Welcome in each added year!
Or if still thy frame should suffer,

Welcome in each added year!
Or if still thy frame should suffer,
Yet may smiles thy spirit cheer.
Smiles of peace,—that thou'rt surrounded
By thy husband's, children's love:
Smiles of faith,—that carthly sorrows
Will be turn'd to joy above:
By thy husband's, children's love:
Smiles of faith,—that carthly sorrows
Will be turn'd to joy above:
Smiles of hope,—that retrospection
With complacence views the past;
Smiles of triumph,—that thy Saviour
Must console thee at the last.
