God bless ye both with ceaseless love,
And keep ye in life's narrow way,
To ever seek those joys above
Earth cannot give or take away!
Sleep on in peace, and may ye wake
With joy to greet to-morrow's light!
One parting look I yet must take,
And now, my gentle ones, Good night!
And keep ye in life's narrow way,
To ever seek those joys above
Earth cannot give or take away!
Sleep on in peace, and may ye wake
With joy to greet to-morrow's light!
One parting look I yet must take,
And now, my gentle ones, Good night!
