ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Veal Family wishes to once again thank all of you /or your kindness and prayers extended to us during our moments of crisis and bereavement.
TIRED
The cross is heavy, Lord And I am weak to bear it But I have faith:
For Thou hast promised, Lord,
That Thou wilt surely share it.
The way is rough, my God! And I am, so weary! But I have faith:
For Thou the same hast trod Alone, in paths most dreary.
Make short the journey, Lord! For I am oh, so lonely; And I have faith
That one beneath the sword For whom my heart yearns only.
These eyes shall greet once more In a fairer land than this, Where sight, not faith,
Will reign, and, partings o'er, Love may have its perfect bliss.
