They told of the heavens
So sweetly to me,
And tell mother you were visited
By Mildred and Marie.
LOVE DREAM
The rose of my life
Were in bloom it seems,
When I saw your face
In my golden dreams.
It cleansed my thoughts
So sweet and bright,
I ne’er wanted to awake
Out of my slumbers that night.
SADNESS
Oh! torturing sadness, why burden me now?
Hide behind those unhappy thoughts that’s the cause of my broken vow,
You build around me those death chilled walls,
Leaving no sunshine in,
But fate is the cause in letting me fall
Deep into this untold sin.
But I’ll take you with a smile,
It matters not where’er I be
I’ll stand my ground like a man
If you’re rough as the water of the mad rushing sea.
THERE MUST BE
When we lie down
On our couch to rest,
Our conscience must be clear
To be heavenly blessed.
Then smile, oh gentle Savior,
As you pass on into sleep,
Then somewhere in slumber land
You may holy creep.
