O, my soul, The words potnt ou ton searer Koal, Wheu the Kchool day's done, the earlh llfe pust, We shalj flnd our Falhor's home Ht last, Some Chrislmas-tlde. TUI then, work on, God '4 time 11 best, The Bterner toll, the sweeter rest . That i'li rist mus-t lc wlll Nureljr come. And theehlldren then wlll all go home And weslmll blde.
