Then to the man whose heart is true,
Who does for us all man can do,
We’ll render love and honor due,
And trust our lives forever to—
The Doctor.
BROTHERLY LOVE.
O may our hearts in love unite,
Our spirits shun all temptation,
Our souls incline to truth and right,
Our minds in love to all creation.
Each other’s faults let us retrieve,
And our portion of love divide,
Each other’s loads a share receive,
And bear with them on ev’ry side.
Let conscience dictate, our minds obey,
Our erring footsteps be retraced,
Our fallen brother gone astray,
Be welcomed back, in love embraced.
Then will God be pleased to bless us,
And fill our lives with love and light,
Then will He sweet mercy grant us,
While we uphold the truth with right.
THE MINISTER’S WIFE.
Written on the occasion of the marriage of my daughter, Worthy, to Rev. G. N. Kennedy, October 17th, 1892.
