TH Y BOSOM OF LOVE
Dear Lord, one day long ago I started on this street of life l have done all that you have allowed me, he it good, misery or strife Dear Lord, all that time you kept me like new And then you would remind me that I came from you And now, Dear Lord, 1 am tired from walking and I need to rest. Open wide your Bosom of Love and let this weary one be blessed I remember one day you promised while hanging on the cross Your Bosom of Love is waiting for all those who are tired and lost So now, Lord, I come to thee while looking up above For my reward you have for me with rest in Thy Bosom of Love
