 G 
 
 OD bless you!" 
 
 I^Wbrds are empty things; 
 We speak, and think not of 
 
 our saying 
 
 But in. this phrase forever 
 
 rings 
 The higher tenderness of 
 
 praying. 
 It means so much it 
 
 means that I 
 Would have no fears or 
 
 frets distress you, 
 Nor have your heart timed 
 
 to- a sigh. 
 GOD BLESS YOU!
 
 rHEN we have folks 
 
 that are so true 
 That in our very souls we 
 
 love them, 
 We want the gladdest 
 
 jewel* blue 
 To gleam in all the skies 
 
 above them; 
 It's more than wishing 
 
 joy and wealth, 
 That kindly fortune may 
 
 caress you , 
 That you may have success 
 
 and health 
 
 GOD BLESS YOU I
 
 THIS trinity of blessed 
 words 
 Holds all of human hope 
 
 and gladness; 
 It serves a feast on broken 
 
 sherds, 
 It makes a song to heal our 
 
 sadness ; 
 It gives you all the world 
 
 can give 
 And may in royal raiment 
 
 dress you, 
 It betters every day you 
 
 live 
 
 GOD BLESS YOU!
 
 IT holds all of my gentlest 
 thought, 
 My oldest wishes, and my 
 
 newest, 
 The fairest deeds that can 
 
 be "wrought , 
 The halest reetins, and 
 
 the truest 
 
 It means that I both day 
 
 and nidKt 
 Pray that no sorrows may 
 
 oppress you, 
 That all your hours may 
 
 bring delight
 
 G 
 
 bless you ! ' ' 
 
 Why, it means so muck 
 I almost \vhisper as I 
 
 say it; 
 1 dream that unseen fin* 
 
 gers touch 
 My hands in answer as 
 
 I pray it. 
 May all it means to all 
 
 mankind 
 In all its wondrousness 
 
 possess you. 
 Through sun and cloud 
 
 and calm and wind, 
 GOD BLESS YOU!
