JAMIE'S PUZZLE.
For me a dimness slowly creeps
Around earth's fairest light,
But heaven grows clearer to my view,
And fairer to my sight.
Around earth's fairest light,
But heaven grows clearer to my view,
And fairer to my sight.
It may be earth's sweet harmonies
Are duller to my ear,
But music from my Father's house
Begins to float more near.
Are duller to my ear,
But music from my Father's house
Begins to float more near.
Then let the pillars of my home
Crumble and fall away;
Lo, God's dear love within my soul
Renews it day by day.
Crumble and fall away;
Lo, God's dear love within my soul
Renews it day by day.
Jamie's Puzzle.
There was grief within our household
Because of a vacant chair.
Our mother, so loved and precious,
No longer was sitting there.
