Whenevcr shadows darken Along my path, 1 do but lift mine eyes, And faitli reveáis falr ehores beyond tlie skles, nd iluvngh earih's harah, dlscordaut sound 1 hearken, And hear divinust tauslc from afar, SWMt s.iuniis from tumis wuere half my loved ones are. I blde- 1 blde my time. I biile my time. Wliatever woes aasatls me I know t lie si rife Is only loraday; A frlend waiw for me farther on the wny- A frlend too falthful and too true to fall me Who wilt bid all life'ijarringturmollcease! And leiul me on the realms of ptríect pcaoe I blde- I blde my time. I blde my time.
