Oh, prune with care the parent,
Each evil branch lay low;
May the roots of love strike deeper,
That the fruit may fairer grow.
Each evil branch lay low;
May the roots of love strike deeper,
That the fruit may fairer grow.
Our Father who art in Heaven,
As I journey day by day,
To bear life's heavy burdens,
For patience, sweet patience, I pray.
As I journey day by day,
To bear life's heavy burdens,
For patience, sweet patience, I pray.
One Less—One More
On the death of Ernest Rich.
One darling less on earth today,
One more in Heaven's fold;
One less to tread life's rugged way,
One more in the streets of gold.
One more in Heaven's fold;
One less to tread life's rugged way,
One more in the streets of gold.
One empty cage—the bird hath flown;
One happy home band riven;
There's one tie less that binds to earth,
One more that draws toward heaven.
One happy home band riven;
There's one tie less that binds to earth,
One more that draws toward heaven.
