dinna forget.

It may be, when I reach the Land of Light—
If God permits my soul to enter there—
And these poor eyes behold the wondrous sight
Of living fountains, many mansions fair,

The great white Throne, and the angelic throng;
And there being no sad songs for me to sing,
I, too, shall break forth into grander song
When I behold the face of Christ, my King.




Dinna Forget.
Dinna forget, in winter's gloom,
That summer skies are blue;
Dinna forget, when fortune frowns,
There's aye one Friend that's true;
And dinna forget, when all else fail,
The One who cares for you.

Dinna forget, when the cruise runs low,
And thy heart is faint with fear,
Not a sparrow falls but the Father knows;
So tak' heart, be o' good cheer,
And dinna forget 'tis the darkest hour
That comes when dawn is near.
