y\f()irtuous cWoman
^ P roverbs 31 ,0Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. nThe heart o f her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need o f spoil. 20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders o f the land. 28Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 30Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. 3`Give her o f the fruit o f her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

J f Eddzdidioms
I 'm turning my face upward now My work is finished here.
I can see the signs o f eternity The holy city is drawing near.
My lifelong hope soon fulfilled My dream almost reality
I 'll be in the Lord's presence And worship Him in His majesty
I've hid down the load o f my life Beside the crystal river there
C an 't wait to see all o f the glory And the peace that's everywhere
I'm headed home now Where the saints immortal reign
The land o f pure delight No sorrow and no more pain.
I'm headed to a place where Christ has prepared for me He calls it home sweet hom e,
My home for eternity.
