A Tribute
I have finished now with this house o f clay, Please kindly and carefully lay it away. And let me rest from this life o f pain; failing in sunshine, storm and rain. Trying to help the sick and poor, and turning no needy from my door. I strove to do my Master's work, never a duty did I shirk. Many times I was misunderstood, when I had done the best I could. I am tired now, So I need to rest. D on't cry, don't you know God knows best? Please, no sad hearts, nor hung down heads, don't weepfor me for I am not dead. I have another house you know, where only G od's redeemed can go. I do not need this house o f clay; so, tenderly, carefully, lay it away.
