H. A. STEINHAUER

By H. A. Steinhauer

BY AND BY.

Weak and weary, worn with care, Feeling life's load hard to bear, Striving hourly, failing oft,— Looking still to Thee, aloft,— Pitying Father, hear my cry, Make me perfect—by and by!
Home on earth Thou know'st I've none— Scarce a friend beneath the sun!— Sick and lonely, pining sore For the dear ones now no more; Pitying Father, hear my cry, Waiting for “the by and by.”
Give me strength to do Thy will, And, if needs be, suffer ill; Give me patience as I wait,— Heaven's help is ne'er too late,— Pitying Father, hear my cry, And send succor by and by.
Give me wisdom from above How to treat the friends I love; How to live so that they may Know me as a child of day;— Pitying Father, hear my cry, Let us all meet—by and by!
