A MOTHER'S ADDRESS TO HER FAMILY ON HER GOLDEN WEDDING DAY	A
	-
	-
Just fifty years my daughters	B
Just fifty years my son	C
Since your sire and I together	D
The march of life begun	C
It does not seem so long ago	E
As half a hundred years	F
Since hand in hand we started out	G
To face life's toils and tears	H
	-
And toils and tears too we have met	I
Yet sunbeams oft have come	J
Many and beautiful and bright	K
To cheer our happy home	L
Sweet infant faces thro' the years	F
Are smiling back to me	M
And God be praised each precious one	C
Still at my side I see	M
	-
Yet ye are changed my children three	M
Your baby bloom is gone	N
And you are growing old I see	M
Grey hairs are coming on	O
Yet when I musing close my eyes	P
I see you as you were	D
In those old years when cloudless skies	P
Dropped sunshine on your hair	Q
	-
The patter of your busy feet	R
Still rings upon the floor	S
And song and jest and laughter sweet	R
Float round me as of yore	S
Yet when I open eager eyes	P
To watch your pastimes gay	A
Your children's faces round me rise	P
Yourselves have done with play	A
	-
And there was one a little one	C
Who slumbered on my breast	T
I loved and cherished as my own	U
That dove that sought your nest	T
And she is here I see her face	V
Among my own to day	A
Thank God for all the loves I trace	V
Along life's devious way	A
	-
And yet there's one we miss to day	A
The last to quit our side	W
The one who wandered far away	A
The day she was a bride	W
Were she but here our chain of love	X
No missing link would show	E
And every face we called our own	U
Would still around us glow	E
	-
Well half a century is I know	E
A long long stretch of time	Y
And truly once we deemed it so	E
When we were in our prime	Y
But as we've glided down the years	F
They've shorter seemed to grow	E
And now how brief the time appears	F
Since fifty years ago	E
	-
And husband you and I have changed	Z
Since that old wedding day	A
I viewed you then with partial eyes	P
Fond girlish eyes you'd say	A
But were my eyes as keen as then	A2
And I allowed to scan	B2
The handsomest of handsome men	A2
You still would be the man	B2
	-
The man of men 'twas so I thought	C2
Just fifty years ago	E
When you and I joined hands for life	D2
And yet I did not know	E
Half half as well as I do now	E2
How dear you were that day	A
And ever dearer still you've grown	U
As years have rolled away	A
	-
And still this fiftieth wedding day	A
I have thee by my side	W
An old man weary bent and grey	A
My tall tree tempest tried	W
And yet I do aver that thou	E2
Art fairer in my sight	K
As in thy face I gaze just now	E2
Than on our wedding night	K
	-
And husband oh the best of all	F2
We'll soon be young again	A2
And free to tread with buoyant feet	R
A brighter holier plain	G2
We'll soon have done with pain and age	H2
And weariness and strife	D2
Soon end our earthly pilgrimage	I2
In new exultant life	D2
	-
For you and I dear have a home	L
A mansion of our own	U
Where change and blight can never come	J
And sorrow is unknown	U
And soon we're going to enter in	J2
And with our Lord sit down	K2
Heirs of His glory and His bliss	L2
His kingdom and His crown	K2
	-
Many we love have thither gone	N
And soon we'll be there too	M2
And children you will follow on	O
We shall look out for you	M2
Oh may we in that blessed throng	N2
Of saved ones robed in white	K
Not miss a single dear loved face	V
That smiles on ours to night	K
	-
Just fifty years of wedded life	D2
In the dear past I see	M
Before us spreads not fifty years	F
But all Eternity	M
And while 'mid ever deepening bliss	L2
The tranquil ages glide	W
Still hand in hand and heart in heart	O2
With Christ we shall abide	W
