    ''It is'' replied Barney ''but not half as hard as it was to leave Ireland''

    “When I am dying ¶ How glad I shall be ¶ That the lamp of my life”

    Share Share Post
    When I am dying
    Star glad I shall be
    That the lamp of my life
    Has been burned not for Thee
    That sorrow has darkened
    The pathway I trod
    That thorns - not roses
    Were strewn o'er it's sod
    That anguish of spirit
    Full often was mine
    Since anguish of spirit
    So often was mine
    My cherished Rabboni
    Star glad I shall be
    To die with the hope
    of a welcome from Thee
