THE DEAR, DEAR FRIENDS AT HOME.
Written and Composed by Professor W. Wilson, expressly for Miss Millie Christine.
What cheers us when we are far away
From home and all we love;
When storm and danger hedge us round,
And all is dark above?
When lightnings flash and thunders roar
O’er ocean’s seething foam?
It is the thought that heaven hears
The prayers of friends at home.
