(When my mother moved |
|
from Pennsylvania to |
|
Ohio to be
with us) |
| |
| For many years the Norton name |
| Was called at each annual meeting |
| And so proudly I would answer |
| Through the years so quickly fleeting. |
| Now I'm asking for my letter |
| To present to the church out here |
| And I will surely miss you folks |
| Whom I have held so very dear. |
| |
| I felt that I was just a burden |
| And even prayed that I might go |
| To be with my blessed Saviour |
| In Heaven, but He answered, "No. |
| I'll give you strength to see you through |
| Then you must get active in the church |
| And urge your loved ones to go with you." |
| |
| So I'll remember you in prayer |
| And trust you'll do the same for me |
| And though we never meet again |
| This side of Eternity |
| I know when this life's over |
| And we're gathered over there |
| You'll hear my name and I will answer |
| At that meeting in the Air. |
