    (continued from previous page)
    Bless the friends I love so well,
    Take us all at last to Heaven,
    Happy there with Thee to dwell.

    Prayer
    Perhaps there is an hour in other hours,
    When I shall stand with bated breath as now.
    And see another calm upon the brow,
    And watch a deeper sleep with heart-wrung showers.
    And I should meet the daylight and flowers,
    And words and smiles that happy hears endow,
    Thou laid amongst the dead, I yet should bow,
    And bare my trembling soul to heaven's dread powers,
    And face my life and say "Thy Will be done".

    Prayer to The Infant Jesus
    Infant Jesus meek and mild,
    Look on me Thy little child.
    Guard me through life and when I die,
    Bring me to Heaven with Thee and Thine.
