On the sidewalks about the town You lead me on my daily round, Or when to a neighbor's a visit I pay You guide me that I may not stray. Oh Ada, do you understand That Jesus dwells at God's right hand, And if you always watch and pray He will lead you on your way. Ada, may you ever be Pure, innocent and free, And may your path forever shine With deeds of kindness you've left be- (hind Ada darling, though we are poor I know we'll meet on the other shore, With our heavenly Father we shall be And then my little queen I'll see. 39 J Mr. Boyne to a Friend |0 dearest mother wherever I nlay roam ll never can forget thee nor my girlhood home, lAnd sacred to my memory is thy dear brother (Tom iBut now he is with the Saviour to heaven he (has gone. You sent him off to Wakefield his health to (recover With medical assistance but soon they did dis- (cover, Pt)or Tom's life was limited his race was nearly (run From a world of trouble and care to a world to (come. I oftimes picture to myself dear Tom I loved (so well In our little home, Moortown, wherein we used (dwell, But now he*s gone to heaven and with God above Is with a loving Saviour receiving love for love. Dear Mother, I never shall forget thee tho' far (across the sea I will ask God's blessing on your head where're (you be And, dear mother, if on earth we meet no more May we all meet together on God's eternal shore. 40 Boyne's Lament O heart that is broken and soul that is sad Why are you troubled or why feel so bad, Neglecting a Saviour, so good and hO kind To all his children seeing or blind. Our chances past which ne'er shall be returned] Or deeds done or friendships spurned, But listen awhile to me I pray I'll tell you why I'm sad to-day. February month to me ever will accursed be For from that time t'was willed I no morel (should see, Blown up was I with dynamite And theit was how I lost my sight. Fathers imagine if you can The hardships of a poor blind man, Who on this earth is bound to be Shut out from all he pines to see. But this sad life will soon be o'er And we'll enter on the other shore. With all those I love to see Forever in eternity. 41 The Race In the race of life I've been outrun, so please on me take pity Though blind, I've come t settle down, in this great Toronto (city ■ Of all the cities I've been in, where the chirping sparrow perches It is the greatest one of all for its charities and churches. In this race you'll plainly see that Christ's church is the goal And all who start to win the race must not play the fool. In staitin^j you must careful be, no false weights to carry For in this race, my friend, you'll have no time to tarry. Keep up good heart and steadfast be, if you would not tumble You will find trouble on your way, tis easy now to stumble. But if your training right has been you'll sure to be the gainer Then you'll sit down with the King and be his guest forever. All glory to our God and King, we see this race has started So never be deceived with sin nor never be faint-hearted, For when the laurelled crown you have won You'll forever live with God's dear Son. 42 The Blind Shall See The beauties of nature I no longer see The bi ds, the trees, or the humming bee, Then farewell to this valley of tears Behold, my blessed Saviour appears. In regions of glory with its beauties untold Whose walls are of jasper and streets of bright (gold, In mansions of glory and a robe of pure white I shall dwell with my Saviour and have a clear sight. O blind of this world, why will you not see O come unto Jesus and thou shalt be free, For Jesus is calling, calling for thee The spirit is waiting from its bondage to tlee. In that heavenly land where all sorrow is gone We'll sing unto Jesus that ever new song, Hunger nor thirst there never shall be All glory to God the whole Trinity. 43 The Sabbath The Sabbath bells are chiming clear Bidding the people of God draw near, It is the best pay of the seven To prepare our souls for heaven. ' The hum of the city now is stopped And the chiming bells their echoes drop, Sounds of a nation singing praise Unto God their voices raise. Our trials and troubles we bring to Him For God is the Almighty King, He will guide us on our way If we humbly watch and pray. To Jesus then for salvation cry O Lord to save us or else we die. He will light us on our way To an eternal Sabbath day. Our Sabbath day will soon be past O receive our souls at last. Then loud anthems we will sing All glory to the Immortal King. t" 44 If.r; '( - 'i t ! -,l t ( The Old Home In a neat little cottage hpw well I remember The snow coming down in the month of December, By the fire a father and mother I see Telling the story of their children three. Now the father with old age was bent His race was nearly run, The gray haired mother a picture lent As she sat by the fire and spun. Our Jack a noble boy was he He entered into the Queen's navy, He sends us letters with money to back God bless and keep our sailor Jack. Our dear boy Tom was tall and strong When from our home he started, A soldier ten years to serve so long We were nearly broken hearted. Our daughter Mary, that little pet You know on her our hearts was set, I would not call her back she's gone to rest And with the Saviour she is blest. Wife you have played a noble part You have been good to me, Yes, dear.John, you've done your best We've loved our children three. 45 The Blind Man to his Boy My boy, when I*laanch my bark away Across the narrow stream to stay, The loving God who guards us here Will guide your father through all dear. My boy, my boy, my bark cannot be lost Although it might be tempest tossed. Dark and rough may be the waves My boy remember Jesus saves. My boy, with faith look up to Him You too must cross the narrow stream, It may not be yet for a little while But God will call you too, my child. Take up your cross then every day Walk strictly in the narrow way, Prayer makes the christian's armour bright Trust in God and do the right. It is not far from shore to shore All praise to God whom we adore. Holy spirit, heavenly dove Give us thy blessing from above. Father may we all be Thine May Thy pure love wiihin us shine, May I meet my Father all above Where we will give Thee love for love. 46 The Wandering Boy's Return i My mother's prayers were not in vain, I will return to God again ; Ask forgiveness for the past, ' Jesus can save a poor outcast. Chorus : — Alien from God for many years. My mother's prayers ring in my ears, From the downward way I trod, I now look up to mother's God. In sin and vice there is no joy, Mother take back your wayward boy ; At thy knee would I kneel and pray. For Jesus to save my soul to-day. In heaven you will see your boy. Praise God together, oh what joy, How the angels they all will sing When the outcast boy is brought in. 47 Thanksgiving Day of '96 I'm thankful for Thy loving care, Health, food and clothes, I've had my share, Blind, by the wayside, I seek my bread, By thy loving hand I have been fed. I am thankful for friends of the past In mercy may their friendship last, To cheer a poor brother by the way, For time is short we cannot stay. In i^ratitude I look up to Thee, Monuments of mercy Lord are we, All the rich and poor on Thee depend We pray Thee O God ; Thy blessing send. We thank Thee best for Thy gift of love, For sending us Jesus from above, To die on the Cross our souls to save For all poor sinners His life He gave. Then with thankful hearts our voice we raise, To give the Heavenly Father praise. Trusting in Thee for Thy tender care, Lord may we all Thy glory share. Sorrow all gone in the City of Light, Jesus reigns supreme and O so bright ; Friends of Toronto here let me say, Tis a continual Thanksgiving Day.
