And oh may “He who doth the ravens feed,

Yea providently caters for the sparrow,

Be comfort to thine age.” May He who said,

A cup of water given in his name

To little ones should have a full reward,

Give thee the riches of eternal life,

A spirit pure, a heart prepared and meet,

For joy and glory in the worlds above!

1845
