Show ? God Bless You. ? ; The Lord bless thee and keen thee. The Lord make bis face shine upon thee. And be gracious unto thee." Xuni. I se"k in pray'rful words, dear friend. My heart's true wish to send you. That you may know that, far or near, 'My roving thoughts attend you. I cannot find a truer word, Xor fonder to caress you, ; Xor song nor poem I have heard Is sweeter than God bless you! God bless you! so I've wished you all i Of brightness life possesses, ! For can there any joy at all Be thine, unless God blesses? God bless you! so I breathe a charm. Lest grifs dark night oppress you, For how can sorrow bring you harm. If 'tis God's way to bless you? j And so. "through all thy days May shadows touch thee never" , But this alone God bless thee, dear , Then art thou safe forever. |
