But though a thousand such oceans Ruthlessly hold held? us apart Love with his strong arm shall hold them Close ever close to my heart.

And I will follow my children On the swift unclear of prayer, Placing? them, trusting them ever Under the dear Savior's care. He, the great Shepherd of Israel, Tenderly guardeth the sheep, And through all others forget us He will not slumber nor sleep.

Then I am weary with longing Thinking of them all the day When in the night I am sleeping O, how it rests me to pray! Then I rememberher the promise Of the bright mansions of love And I rest sweetly while pleading Oh, may we all meet above.

S. A. E.
