Hand clasped in hand down this lifo's
winding pathway,
On through the flowers and frosts
of the years;
Side by side, forward through sun
shine and dark days,
Comrades we two in the joytimo

Ever and on where the future shall
lead us,
Facing with hope'ev'ry day as it
breaks; .
Praying for strength when our loved
ones shall, need us,
Trusting in One whose love never
forsakes.

Add to our storehouse of roses or

Still, with a love and a trust both
abiding, ,
Journey1' we on with our hearts
