OUR THANKS For all the kindness you have shown, we thank you very much. For sympathy in sorrowing days, for friendships healing touch. With gratitude, our hearts are full. Though words cannot convey the tender thoughts and thankfulness.
-The family-
God Understands God understands; it is sweet to know When we are tired and when the hand of pain Lies on our hearts, and when we look in vain For human comfort, that the Heart Divine Still understands those cares of yours and mine,
Not only understands, but day by day, Lives with us while we tread the earthly way,
Bears with us all our weariness, and feels The shadow of the faintest cloud that steals
Across our sunshine, even learns again The depth and bitterness of human pain.
There is no sorrow that He will not share, No cross, no burden for our hearts to bear Without His help; no care of ours too small
To cast on Jesus; Let us tell Him all, Lay at His Feet the story of our woes, And in His sympathy find sweet repose.
