FROM A LOVED ONE IN HEAVEN

1 U'ould not have you grieie for me today Nor weep beside my vacant chair.
Could you but know my daily portion here 'You u'ould not. could not, wish me there.

:

So only this - I am the same, though changed, Like Him! A joy more rich and strong
Than I had dreamed that any heart could hold, And all my life is one glad song.

_ .:

And so my loved ones, do not grieve for me Around the family board today;
Instead, rejoice, for we are one in Him, And so I am not far away. Martha Snell Ntcholson
