'Tis not for thee, thou precious child,
'tis not for thee we weep,
For thou art where the storms of life
by thee unheeded sweep;
Thou art amonff the favoured ones, the
highly blest of God,
Who, early called f rqm earth avay, ne'er
felt the chnstpning roc.
Nor canst thou feol us if alone, for one
thou lovedst on earth
Was ready in tho spirit land to hail thy
second birth,
With thee to tune his little harp and
raise his infant voice
Among the ever gathering throng who
round the throne rejoice.
But 'tis for those whose earthly hopes
were fondly fixed on thee,
Who had with deep affection watched
thy budding infancy;
For them wo weep, and breathe the
prayer that God would be their stay,
And pour into their wounded hearts,
sweet consolation's ray:
Enabling .them with cheerful trust to
bow before the throne,
And in this trying hour to say, "Thy
will, not ours, be done!1'
