"Iong had Hettie, llstened for the angels feet, To guide her o'cr the rivcr, aml through the golden streel ; Anti when tliey caine at nior'n, and beckoned her away, Although we held her iondly, she did not wish to Uy, We miss her, O, sosatHv! ytt we know 'tis all In vain ; Kor slic is singing with the angels, she'l ncvcr come unun. Nlic will not come to checrus, when desolate and sail ; Rr nurry, cheerful face, no morewill make us glad. We've tiicd so hard to suy, to God ''l'hy will, notours !e done.' For they have many Hetties, there; our home, had only one. O teach our faith, dear Saviour; to clasp thy loving hand ; And ruide, O guide our footsteps, into that better land. And may wc lVel thy presence, throughall life's toilsotnc w a y, Rlessing s when faithful; and chiding when we str;iv And may wc muct our Hetlie, Ín the land of all the biest ; "Whcre the wicked cease from troubling, and the wi'ary are at rest."
